In a gruesome case that has gripped the nation, a Chennai woman named Hayathun Nisha, 38, met a horrific end when she was murdered and her mutilated remains were disposed of in a suitcase aboard a train. On August 5, railway staff discovered the severed body parts, including a beheaded head, in a red trolley bag on the Tamil Nadu Express at Agra station. Subsequent investigations led police to Nisha's rented home in Guduvanchery, Chennai, where more body parts were found in a large box on Friday.
Suspects Manik Uddin Laskar, a native of Assam, and Bhagabati Majhi, from Odisha, who shared the rented accommodation with Nisha, are believed to have fled to Odisha. The Chennai police have launched an intensive search across several locations in the state to locate the couple. Acting on CCTV footage from Platform 4 of Chennai Central, investigators identified the two suspects boarding the train around 10 pm on August 3 with the identical trolley bag.
The two got off the train at Agra station. The couple's rented house in Guduvanchery became the next focus of the police investigation after the lead was established.
