UP shocker: Man beheads live-in partner, returns home to marry another woman

Saharanpur, UP: In a shocking incident, Uttar Pradesh Police on Monday arrested a taxi driver for allegedly murdering his 30-year-old live-in partner and disposing of her body in a forested area.

The accused reportedly planned the killing so he could marry another woman. 

According to an India Today report, the victim, identified as Uma, was found decapitated near Kalesar National Park in Haryana, prompting a cross-state investigation that led to the arrest of Bilal. He later hid her head.

Police said Bilal picked up Uma in a Swift car from Saharanpur and drove her around for nearly six hours. He then allegedly took her to a remote location near Lal Dhang gorge, close to Kalesar forest, where he killed her and severed her head.

After the attack, Bilal reportedly returned to his home in Saharanpur and went about preparations for his upcoming wedding with another woman.

The woman had been living in Saharanpur alone after personal disputes. Police said she had been in a live-in relationship with Bilal for nearly two years.
