Woman in India Found Murdered With Feet Reportedly Chopped Off for Silver Anklets
The local police investigating the gruesome incident suspect it was a "case of murder for gain". The perpetrators have not yet been identified.
In a shocking incident, robbers in the Indian state of Rajasthan murdered a woman in broad daylight, reportedly chopping off her feet, and stealing the silver anklets she was wearing. Multiple reports also suggested that her throat was slit.
The grisly incident took place on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) parliamentarian Rajayvardhan Singh Rathore slammed the Congress-led Rajasthan government and alleged that it had failed to control the crime situation in the state.
"Such incidents have become common in Rajasthan and they are concealed so that it doesn't appear in the media. Criminals are emboldened to this extent, there's no fear of police. They are deployed just for the security of ministers. The governmentt is busy saving itself", the ANI news agency quoted Rathore as saying.
According to local police, the victim has since been identified as Geeta Devi Sharma, a resident of the village of Khatehpura in Chavandiya. As per media reports, she was
attacked while grazing cattle in a field near her home.
"There seems to be involvement of hardcore criminals in the case given the manner in which the victim, Geeta Devi Sharma, was murdered. The jewellery she was wearing was found missing. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of murder for gain", India Today cited Jaipur (Rural) Superintendent of Police Shankar Dutt Sharma as saying.
Meanwhile, the woman's relatives have demanded that strict action be taken against the culprits along with a compensation of over $33,000 and a government job from the state.
The gruesome incident has additionally caused panic and outrage among locals.
