A routine clean-up operation in Bengaluru recently uncovered a decomposed body, leading police to identify and arrest a suspect in a murder case. The victim, 28-year-old Anasuya Behera, was allegedly killed by her husband, 32-year-old Sagar Chandra Rawat from Bihar. Rawat is currently in police custody and awaiting trial. According to the police, the couple had been living in Bengaluru for just a few months before the incident.
They had reportedly argued frequently, particularly over financial matters. On August 11, an argument escalated to violence, resulting in Anasuya's death. Instead of disposing of the body immediately, Rawat kept it inside their home for three days before wrapping it in a sheet and transporting it to an abandoned plot in Sampigehalli.
The body was discovered on September 2, three weeks after the murder, during the clean-up operation. The clothing tag found on the body was crucial in identifying Anasuya, as it traced back to a purchase made at a mall, thus helping police establish her identity. Rawat had continued to go to his job at a hotel while his wife's disappearance was ongoing. During his questioning, Rawat confessed to the crime. He has since been placed in judicial custody.
