Couple Arrested in Manipur for Murder of Woman Found Dismembered in Delhi-Bound Train: TN Police
Police identified the victim as Hayathun Nisha and said a joint team traced the suspects through CCTV before arresting them in Manipur.
- On Saturday, August 29, police arrested Manik Uddin Laskar, 22, and his wife Bhagabati Majhi, 21, in Kashimpur, Manipur, following a multi-state investigation into the murder of 38-year-old Hayathun Nisha.
- Earlier this month on August 5, passengers aboard the Tamil Nadu Express discovered dismembered remains inside an abandoned red suitcase after the train pulled into Agra station, prompting Government Railway Police to identify the victim as Nisha.
- Investigators analyzed CCTV footage from Chennai Central to trace the suspects to a rented house on Mosque Street in Guduvanchery, where police recovered additional dismembered body parts stored inside a large cooking vessel.
- Following their arrest, the couple will be produced before a local magistrate in Manipur and subsequently brought to Tambaram on a transit warrant for further interrogation by Guduvanchery Police.
- Authorities suspect the crime stemmed from an alleged relationship between Nisha and Laskar that reportedly caused quarrels with Majhi; all three had worked together at a garment company near Tambaram MEPZ.
