Sahibganj (Jharkhand): Another case resembling the Shraddha Walker murder has been reported in Jharkhand where a man allegedly killed his wife and then chopped her body into several pieces before disposing of them in an Anganwari in the district.
The incident came to light Saturday evening when the victim's family filed a missing complaint at Borio police station in the Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. As police began investigating the case, villagers also reported dogs mauling what seemed part of a human leg following which at least 18 other body parts were recovered in the area.
The victim Rubika Pahadin from Borio area had married Dildar Ansari after both of them fell in love even though Ansari was already married. DIG Sudershan Prasad Mandal, in a press briefing, said Rubika was the second wife of accused Ansari and both had been together for around 2 years.
"Ansari already had a wife and his second marriage had triggered a rift within the family. The family then conspired to murder Rubika. They chopped her body into several pieces and then disposed of it in the nearby Anganwari center.

We have recovered 18 body parts so far as well as the (murder) weapon. However, we won't be able to give more details till the investigation is on," the DIG said.
The search for more body parts is still on. A team of doctors and a dog squad is involved in the operation. Police have arrested Ansari, his father Mustaqim and mother Maryam, and his first wife Gulera. Ansari's maternal uncle Moinul Ansari is absconding. The murder, according to police sources, took place at Moinul's house where police also recovered an iron-cutting machine which they believe may have been used to chop the victim's body.
The murder follows a slew of such cases that bear a close resemblance to the horrifying Shraddha murder case in Delhi's Mehrauli in May this year. BJP's Amit Malviya on Sunday added a PFI spin to the case. Citing a news report written in Hindi, Malviya said that the murder of the tribal woman should be seen in the context of PFI's agenda to establish Islamic power in India.
"Taking tribal women as second wives, then winning elections through them, grabbing land is part of the strategy. After the tribal woman, the property belongs to the non-tribal husband," the BJP IT cell head cautioned on Twitter.
