Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused, Kunal Kumar, had asked his sister-in-law to serve him food. When Anshu came to serve the meal, there was some soil on her hands.

Enraged over the issue, Kunal allegedly threw her to the ground, assaulted her, and then attacked her with a sharp-edged weapon (Gandasi) lying nearby, severing her head from her torso.

The victim suffered fatal injuries and died on the spot.

The incident left Anshu’s maternal family in deep shock. Her relatives, devastated by her death within a year of her marriage, were inconsolable.

After committing the crime, the accused fled the scene. However, acting on information, the Parsabigha police launched a raid and arrested Kunal Kumar within hours of the incident.
