INDIA has been shocked by another case of a young woman being killed and dismembered by her husband, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Dilthar Ansari, 28, took Rupika Bahdin, 22, as his second wife after they had been living together for about two years.
He recently made a police report saying his wife had gone missing.
At the same time, Rupika’s family also lodged a report over her disappearance. Passers-by at a nearby village were curious when they saw a stray dog running around with what appeared to be a human body part in its mouth and reported the matter.
This led to the discovery of several human body parts in a building under construction nearby.
Police determined they belonged to the missing woman and interrogated Dilthar, who admitted to killing his wife and chopping up her body into 50 pieces and throwing them away.
