Domestic Dispute Turns Deadly: Court Gives Life Term in Renu Devi Case

The murder of Renu Devi, a Sunhaula resident, stemmed from an alleged love marriage to Rajneesh Das, a married man. Tensions within the household reportedly escalated, culminating in the brutal killing of Renu. Her mutilated, headless body was dumped near Karmapur Jogia Talab, prompting a large‑scale police operation.
