The severed head of man who worked for a private company near here was found in a drain on Sunday. Deceased Rakesh Kumar (35) had been missing since February 18.
Mukesh Kumar, a resident of Kaithi village in Aurangabad district of Bihar, filed a police complaint on Saturday that his brother Rakesh Kumar had been missing and his mobile phone was also switched off since February 18. He said Rakesh lived with Ajay Ram at Partap Nagar in Sangrur.
