Headless body found in Giridih, probe on

Bokaro: The headless body of a man in his forties was found at a place under Dhanwar police station of Giridih district on Monday.
Police pressed a dog squad into service soon after they were informed by the locals to identify the body and find the culprits. However, till the time of filing this report, neither the head is found nor the identity of the deceased is established.
SDPO Navin Kumar Singh, who visited the spot, said, “It was a brutal murder. The body was spotted around 11am by passers-by and since then we are trying to identify the deceased. Efforts are on to find his head. We searched his clothes but found no identity card or any other evidence.”
He added, “The deceased seems to be in his 40s and we found empty packets of chips, cigarettes and a matchbox near the body. We have checked the missing persons' list of local and neighbouring police stations but didn’t get any clue.”
A Dhanwar police station official said, “The identity of the deceased will help us proceed further to solve the case. Judging by his clothes, the deceased seems to be from a well-to-do family. We will be able to find out the time of crime only after the post mortem report.” He suspected that the killer may have taken the head to dispose it of somewhere else to evade arrest.
