A gruesome murder in Balod, Chhattisgarh, has left the community reeling. Kamla Rajput, a married woman living with her family in Paras, was savagely killed by her seven-year lover Nemichand Sahu. The incident unfolded in Gurami jungle on January 16.
The body, found decomposed on January 24, triggered a massive police response. FSL experts, cyber teams, and sniffer dogs scoured the area. Within a day, Nemichand was nabbed based on digital trails and surveillance footage.
Kamla’s identity was confirmed via a prior missing report. Interrogation peeled back layers of a toxic romance. Nemichand pressured her for marriage while living a double life. Their forest rendezvous turned deadly when jealousy erupted post-intimacy.
‘You talk to other men,’ he screamed, beating her before throttling her neck. Not stopping there, he dragged her corpse 50 meters and obliterated her features with boulders to evade recognition.
SP Yogesh Patel briefed the media on the confession. The autopsy corroborated strangulation and facial trauma. This tragedy underscores risks in long-term extramarital affairs, especially amid unfulfilled promises.
Authorities laud the rapid teamwork that cracked the case. Nemichand faces murder charges, with investigations ongoing into his background and potential prior violence. Families urge stricter vigilance on such liaisons.
