New Delhi: A man was arrested in Jharkhand's Sahibganj on Sunday after his wife was found chopped into pieces, with body parts dumped in different areas of the district

The case, similar to the Shraddha Walkar murder in Delhi, has left the locals in shock, news agency PTI reported a police officer as saying.

The victim, a 22-year-old woman, was the second wife of 28-year-old Dildar Ansari, the officer informed.

Local residents spotted the victim's body parts, which were being dragged by dogs, in the Boria area of the district, and the police were subsequently informed about the matter.

"At least 13 body parts were recovered from different parts of the district. On inspection, it was found that the parts were of a 22-year-old woman, a resident of Donda Pahar in Boria area. Locals were left aghast at the incident," Jagannath Pan, the officer in-charge of Borio Police Station, told PTI.

Sub-Divisional Police Officer (Sahibganj) Rajendra Kumar Dubey stated that some of the body parts of the victim were found in an abandoned house in the district.

After an initial probe, Ansari was arrested in connection with the murder, Dubey said.

As per the SDPO, senior police officers in the locality are looking into the matter and more details will be available following a thorough investigation.

Recently, several such cases have come to light where body parts are found by police prompting an investigation.

The incident is similar to the murder of a 27-year-old girl, Shraddha Walker, allegedly killed by her live-in partner in Delhi.

Poonawala allegedly strangled Shraddha and cut her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli in south Delhi in May this year, before dumping them across the city over several days.

Meanwhile, in Jaipur, a man allegedly murdered his aunt, chopped the body into pieces, and dumped them at different places near the Delhi highway.
