thehindu.com ·2026-08-29

A woman from Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh, Aruna, 40, was discovered dead with her face mutilated in Thandalam village, Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu, on Friday night. She had left home earlier that day to attend a wedding of her friend's daughter in the neighboring Tamil Nadu village, approximately 25 kilometers away from Nindra.

The police registered a case under Section 101 (Culpable homicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and initiated an investigation. Upon finding her body in the bushes, the Tamil Nadu police noticed her throat had been slit and her face had been defaced, with her gold jewelry missing. The Nagari division police suspect that the murder may not have been premeditated and believe the perpetrator might have killed the woman for her jewelry.
