  "account": "The Bengaluru civic body was cleaning a vacant plot when they discovered a decomposing corpse. They handed over all their findings to the Sampigehalli police, who began their investigation. The body was identified as 28-year-old Anasuya Behera, whose clothes held a clue leading to the mall where the outfit was purchased. They traced her house and her husband, Sagar Chandra Rawat, who was living a normal life at his workplace. Peers revealed marital problems between the couple, and Rawat was subsequently questioned in custody. He confessed to the murder. The couple had recently moved to Bengaluru after their marriage and worked in a hotel and a clothing store, respectively. Financial issues caused many disagreements, culminating in a physical fight on August 11, where Rawat strangled Behera to death. He kept her body at home for three days before disposing of it. It wasn’t until September 2, during a clean-up campaign, that her decomposing body was discovered, with parts missing possibly eaten by street dogs. Police believed he had been visiting the disposal site regularly. Rawat was arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison for his wife's murder.",

When the body of a 28-year-old woman turned up, they handed over all their findings to Sampigehalli police, who began to investigate.
