Sharjah, April 26 :  The body of a 36-year-old Indian woman was found buried in a room of her house here, police said.

The neighbours notified the police after noticing bad odour coming from the house occupied by an Indian family, comprising a couple and their two children, the Khaleej Times reported on Thursday.

Police along with the forensic experts dug out the decomposed body with the help of sniffer dogs. The initial forensic investigation revealed that the woman was murdered a month ago but was not buried properly.

According to a CID officer, the investigation revealed that the woman was strangled to death by her husband due to family disputes. He then buried her and locked the house and put the "For rent" sign on the door.

After the crime, the husband immediately left for Kerala along with his children.

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre on Tuesday said a 7-km railway barricade has been approved for the Madikeri division and 20 km for the Nagarhole division in 2025–26 to curb human-elephant conflict in the regions.

Responding to a proposal raised by BJP MLC Suja Kushalappa during Zero Hour in the Legislative Council, he assured that work on the proposed railway barricades would begin soon.

Citing the death of a 17-year-old girl in an elephant attack on February 28 and that of a tribal woman on March 9 in the state, the minister said these deaths caused by elephant attacks were "extremely painful".

"Human life is very precious and cannot be valued in monetary terms. The Forest Department is taking all measures to prevent human-wildlife conflict."

The minister further said steps such as maintenance of elephant-proof trenches and solar-powered fencing were being undertaken, while two elephant task forces were currently in operation.

Orders have also been issued by the Chief Wildlife Warden to capture two rogue elephants.

In both cases, Rs 5 lakh compensation has already been disbursed to the families of the deceased, and the remaining Rs 15 lakh each will be provided within a week, he added.

Khandre said the government was making sincere efforts to find a permanent solution to the human–elephant conflict.
