Woman's Headless Body Found

Tattoos on the body included a trishul (trident) and 'damru' (hourglass-shaped drum), as well as the initials 'OM' on the arm. Police investigated numerous leads and identified her as Anjali Mintu Singh, of Rajavali Gaon Road, Naigaon. They then arrested her spouse, security guard Mintu Rambrij Singh, and his brother, security supervisor Chun Chun Rambrij Singh. According to the official, the woman's husband confessed to the crime during interrogation.
