A couple in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur has been arrested for allegedly murdering and dismembering a 20-year-old man after investigators found a digital trail on their smartphones.
Kiran Devi and her husband, Kamta Nishad, were picked up for questioning based on the former's high call volume with Vijay Nishad, who went missing on May 8.
Police said Vijay Nishad had an affair with Kiran Devi, who allegedly lured him to her house, where her husband bludgeoned him to death.
They then used a grinder machine to sever the limbs, packed the remains into a sack, and drove to a forest area in Kanpur's Reuna where they incinerated the body using petrol to erase all clues.
Investigators said Vijay Nishad visited Devi's village to meet relatives and had allegedly posted her intimate photographs on social media.
Kamta Nishad, who worked as a migrant labourer in Gujarat, stumbled upon the photographs, forcing him to quit his job, return home, and plan the murder with his wife.
