Jodhpur, October 31: In a chilling case, Rajasthan Police on October 30 reported the discovery of 50-year-old Anita Chaudhary's dismembered body in a 10-foot-deep pit in Jodhpur's Gangana village. Chaudhary, a beautician, had been missing for three days before police traced her body parts to the home of a close friend.

The investigation began when Chaudhary's family reported her missing after she didn't return from her beauty parlour, which she had closed around 2:30 pm on the day she disappeared. Authorities found that she had taken a taxi that afternoon, and the driver recalled dropping her near the residence of Gulamuddin, who ran a sewing shop close to her beauty parlour. When police arrived at his home, however, he was absent. Tragedy in Eluru: 1 Dead, 6 Injured After Man on Scooter Accidentally Drops ‘Onion Bomb’ in Andhra Pradesh; Disturbing Video Surfaces.

Her remains were found concealed in a pit outside the house, with her throat, hands, and legs severed in what police described as a horrific act. Odisha Shocker: Man Kills Wife by Giving Her Heavy Dose of Anaesthesia With Help of 2 Girlfriends in Bhubaneswar, All Accused Arrested (Watch Video).
