What sparked the investigation is a human body part which was found behind an under-construction building of the Anganwadi center in Borio Santhali area. The police then began a full-fledged probe into the case. 

As per a Zee News report, the police found two sharp weapons from the maternal uncle of the accused Dildar Ansari. The main accused, at the moment, appears to be the deceased's husband. 

Similar to Shraddha Walker murder case

The gruesome murder bears a similarity to the Shraddh Walker murder case. Shraddha Walker, a 24-year-old woman, was also murdered in a similar way wherein her live-in partner Aftab Poonawalla strangled her and then chopped her body into over 35 pieces and then disposed of them in the nearby forest area. The heinousness of the crime and treatment of the deceased even after death shocked the nation and sparked a conversation on toxic relationships. The investigation in the Shraddha Walker case is still on-going.
