Nabarangpur: In a shocking incident, police have dug up parts of a young woman, who was allegedly cut into 31 pieces and buried by a married man, in Odisha’s Nabarangpur district.
According to sources, the 21-year-old woman, identified as Tilabai Ganda of Baghabeda village under Raighar police limits in the district was in a relationship with Chandra Rout of Muramdihi village for the last two years.
Tilabai had been insisting on getting married to Chandra who is already married. On Wednesday, she went to the house of Chandra and threatened to expose him if he did not marry her.
Alarmed by her threat, Chandra revealed his affair to his wife and both of them hatched a plot to eliminate Tilabai. They allegedly took Tilabai to a forest near Muramdihi where they killed her. They also cut her into 31 pieces and buried the body parts at different places in the forest.
