Jaipur: A 32-year-old man killed his 64-year-old aunt and dismembered her body, before throwing the chopped parts in a secluded area by the Jaipur – Sikar Highway, police have said.

Anuj Sharma’s aunt Saroj on December 11 stopped him from attending an event in New Delhi. This angered Anuj, who argued with his aunt and, enraged, hit her head with a hammer, the police officers said and added that Anuj and Saroj were the only people in the house when this occurred.

Saroj had been living with Anuj and his father and sister in Vidhyadhar Nagar, Jaipur, since the death of her husband. Anuj’s mother had died due to a Covid-19 attack in 2021.

Anuj cut up his aunt’s body into 10 pieces using various instruments, carried the parts in a bucket and a suitcase, and dumped them by the Jaipur – Sikar Highway.

Following the disposal of his aunt’s body parts, Anuj filed a missing complaint with the police. He is also learned to have gone looking for her with the help of relatives, hoping to mislead the police.

During the investigation, however, the police found that his statements were misleading. His activities were then monitored, with the CCTV camera footage showing him leaving the house with a suitcase and a bucket, the police said.

When questioned about this, Anuj confessed that he had killed his aunt.

Jaipur Police Commissioner Anand Srivastav said, "The killer is intelligent and educated. He appears to have psychopathic tendencies. The police suspected him as he filed a missing complaint, but CCTV footage did not show the aunt leaving the house, in fact, the CCTV showed him carrying bucket and a suitcase out of the house." 

The investigation team is learned to have found blood stains in the kitchen as well as eight parts of Saroj’s body in the suitcase.

The police added that Anuj had no remorse for killing his aunt in a brutal manner and chopping her body.

A case has been registered against Anuj for murder as well as destruction of evidence. Anuj has been remanded in police custody.
