20-year-old woman hacks boyfriend to death with axe for refusing to marry her
Medininagar, Jharkhand (PTI): A 20-year-old woman allegedly hacked her boyfriend to death with an axe when he was sleeping for refusing to marry her, police said on Monday.
The incident happened near Kolhua village in Patan police station area of Jharkhand's Palamu district, they said.
The woman, identified as Anjali Kumar, was arrested on Monday, and her blood-stained salwar-kameez and the axe used for the murder were recovered, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Surjeet Kumar said.
Anjali was in a relationship with Dharmen Oraon (24). She wanted to marry her, but he refused the proposal. A jilted Anjali planned the murder and called Dharmen to a secluded spot surrounded by bushes on Saturday, police said.
After spending some time talking, Dharmen fell asleep on the ground. Anjali soon got the axe that she had kept nearby, and allegedly hacked Dharmen to death in his sleep, they said.
She then hid the body in the bushes, and left the place. The body was found by locals on Sunday.
Police said they cracked the case within 48 hours, and gathered the required evidence, besides arresting the accused.

Ranji Trophy Final: Jammu and Kashmir tighten grip with 527/6 vs Karnataka on Day 2
Hubballi (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir piled on the agony for Karnataka, reaching a commanding 527 for six against the eight-time champions before bad light forced an early end to the second day of the Ranji Trophy final here on Wednesday.
Resuming on 284/2, J&K batters capitalised on a good surface with Kanhaiya Wadhawan and skipper Paras Dogra scoring 70 each to keep the scoreboard moving at a steady pace.
Shubham Pundir (121) had set the tone earlier, while Yawer Hassan (88) and Abdul Samad (61) ensured Karnataka bowlers were made to toil for long periods.
Sahil Lotra, who found a place in the XI due to Vanshaj Sharma's injury, grabbed his opportunity with a fluent unbeaten 57 at No. 7, becoming the sixth J&K batter to cross the 50-run mark.
Abid Mushtaq was unbeaten on 20 as J&K ended the day firmly in control.
For Karnataka, pacer Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the bowlers with 3/90, but it was largely a day of hard grind for the hosts, who rotated as many as six bowlers.
Karun Nair also rolled his arm over for a couple of overs of part-time off-spin in search of a breakthrough.
Brief Scores:
Jammu and Kashmir: 527/6 in 156 overs (Shubham Pundir 121, Yawer Hassan 88, Paras Dogra 70, Kanhaiya Wadhawan 70, Abdul Samad 61, Sahil Lotra 57 batting, Abid Mushtaq 20 batting; Prasidh Krishna 3/90) vs Karnataka.
