Jodhpur: A bizarre incident has come to the fore in Rajasthan's Jodhpur district where a young woman has been accused of killing her husband, dumped his husband's chopped body parts near a cement plant area for over a month.

It all started a month back when a man, Charan Singh was reported missing from his house at Nandadi village under Banad police limits in the district.

Following a complaint by Singh's family members, the police registered a missing person complaint and on August 10, police recovered the severed parts of Singh's body.
