A woman allegedly conspired with her lover to murder her husband, dismember his body and dispose of the remains at multiple locations in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, police said.

The case surfaced on December 15 after locals spotted polythene bags containing severed body parts near the Idgah on Patraua Road in Chandausi and alerted the police.

On opening the bags, officers found mutilated human remains, including chopped limbs. Police said the body had been dismembered with extreme brutality, with the head, hands and legs severed, complicating initial identification.

A crucial breakthrough came when investigators noticed the name “Rahul" engraved on one of the severed arms.

Based on this detail, the victim was identified as Rahul (40), a shoe trader from the Chunni locality in Chandausi. Further verification confirmed his identity and helped police trace his family.

Suspicion soon fell on Rahul’s wife, Ruby, after it emerged that she had filed a missing person complaint on November 18, weeks before the body parts were discovered.

During questioning, police found inconsistencies in her statements, prompting a deeper probe.

Using surveillance inputs and technical evidence, investigators reconstructed the sequence of events. Ruby, her alleged lover Gaurav, and another individual have been detained for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police said Rahul and Ruby had been married for 15 years and had two children, a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter.

The daughter’s statement proved significant to the case. She reportedly told investigators that her parents frequently argued and that three people often visited their home, sometimes bringing her chocolates.

During questioning, she allegedly broke down and indicated her mother’s involvement, urging police to punish those responsible.

A search of Rahul’s house led to the recovery of several items, including a cot leg, a scooter, a bag, a toilet brush, an iron rod and an electric heater.

Forensic teams suspect the murder was carried out inside the house, after which the body was cut into pieces and dumped at different locations.

Police are continuing efforts to recover Rahul’s missing head and other body parts. Investigators believe the crime was carefully planned and have drawn parallels with a recent brutal murder case in Meerut, further intensifying public concern and outrage.
