PATNA: Police have recovered the beheaded body of a 32-year-old man from the left bank of Sakri river near Govindpur in Nawada on Thursday. He had gone missing on Wednesday evening.
The deceased Ajay Kumar was from Maheshpur village located on the opposite side of the river from where his body was recovered. He worked at a petrol pump at Lakhpat Bigha in Baksauti village which is around two kilometres from his home in Maheshpur.
Govindpur SHO Narendra Prasad said Kumar went missing around 6 pm on Wednesday.

“He had not returned home at night. His family members were looking for him. However, they informed the police only on Thursday morning that Kumar was missing,” he said.
Prasad said within hours of police receiving the missing report, information was received that a mutilated body was lying on the riverbank opposite the victim's village.
“Police reached the spot and the body was identified to be that of Kumar. Family members also ascertained the identity,” he said.
SHO Prasad said Kumar was beheaded. “Only a small part of the head was connected to the rest of the body. The rest of the neck region was slashed open. It seems a heavy sharp-edged weapon must have been used in the beheading,” he said.

The SHO said it seems he was murdered somewhere else after which the body was dumped at the spot.
“Police have detained two suspects in connection with the murder. However, nothing concrete has surfaced yet. His family members also have no suspect,” he said.
Prasad said his cellphone and other belongings were perhaps taken away by the killers.
“Only the clothes he was wearing were on the body. Police suspect that some persons from nearby areas are involved in the killing,” he said, adding police are awaiting call records to know with whom Kumar had interacted the last time and what was his location.
He said the body has been handed over to the family after conducting a post mortem examination at the Nawada Sadar hospital.
