Bengaluru, Oct 01: Freedom fighter H.S. Doreswamy said that Nathuram Godse who had killed Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, was an active RSS member.

Inaugurating a seminar on ‘Gandhi within ourselves’ at Central College Senate Hall here on Monday, Doreswamy said that before assassinating Gandhi, Godse had come to Bengaluru. He had reported it in a newspaper. But the RSS people had termed it a false report. Before killing Gandhi, Godse had participated in an RSS programme and was served food at the house of those who had organized the programme. But the RSS had been claiming that it had no relationship with Godse which is a lie, he said.

“I would not say that Gandhi did not make mistake in his young age. Because of young age, he addicted to some bad habits. But later, he had stopped and worked for the country. But our youth have been addicted to various bad habits. But they are not able to come out of them”, he said.

On the line of British Empire, now the foreigners have invested in the country and controlling it. India had experienced under the rule of British for more than two centuries. But today, the same kind of slavery attitude was continuing, he said.  

Bengaluru Central University vice chancellor Prof. S. Japhet said that the students should emulate the ideals, lifestyle of Gandhi in life to give a proper tribute to the Father of the Nation. The social problems like unemployment, poverty, communalism and others have been increasing and only Gandhi’s ideology could provide solution to those problems, he said.

Bengaluru Central University Registrar Prof. M. Ramachandra Gowda, Evaluation Registrar Prof. Lingaraja Gandhi and others were present.

Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.

The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.

The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.

Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.

"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.

Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.

“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.

Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.

"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.

The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.

Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.

"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.

The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.

Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
