Overview
- Bulandshahr police, which arrested Vikas Kumar and Aman Kumar on Monday, say they are still looking for a third accused named Sachin.
- Investigators say Vikas lured Babli to a secluded area, killed her with a sharp weapon, beheaded her, and left the head about 500 meters away to hide her identity.
- The case began with a decomposed torso found near a canal on March 15, moved to police-led last rites on March 18, and shifted when her family identified her from a social media post on March 22.
- Officers report recovering the murder weapon along with illegal firearms and a motorcycle, though outlets differ on the exact items listed.
- Police link the killing to a relationship that formed after Babli’s husband died, and note her three daughters now live with their grandmother in Delhi.
