Jalandhar, July 27

After a torso was recovered from Mehmadpur village near Adampur bundled in a briefcase on July 14 and a hand of human body has found from Nawanshahr around a week ago, a mutilated head has been found from Farala village in Banga that is being seen as a big development to solve the blind murder case.

A Jalandhar Rural Police team has already gone to Banga to visit the site where the head has been recovered.

Speaking to the Jalandhar Tribune, Parminder Singh Bhandal, SP (Investigation), said it was very difficult to recognise the face as it had been mutilated. The skin on face had been peeled off. “The police team has been asked to conduct the DNA of the head as the samples of the torso and the hand found from Adampur and Nawashahr have already been sent for the DNA test. The reports for the same are still awaited,” he added.

He said if the DNA of these parts of human body were found to be matching, it would provide a great help in solving the case. Alerts have already been sounded across the state to inquire about the missing person, yet nothing has come up till now.

The police suspected that the victim seemed to have been murdered and then his head, arms and legs were chopped. The murder seems to have been committed somewhere else and the torso had been dumped here to confuse the investigators.

A case against unidentified persons has already been registered at Adampur police station.
