A man was arrested in Bihar’s Kaimur district on Thursday after allegedly beheading his girlfriend. Police said the man, identified as Shamim Quraishi, killed the girl on the suspicion that she was cheating on him. The hideous incident took place on January 11 when the man called the victim for a date and took her to Madurni Hill on a bike.

Police said the accused slit the throat of the victim and later beheaded her. They also stated that the man also took the girl's head in a bag and dumped the body there.  Police recovered the body from Madurni Hill on January 11 and later initiated an investigation into the matter.

Police found a letter and a knife with the help of a sniffer dog. Police said the letter was written by the accused, blaming the victim’s uncle and another youth, for misleading the police.  

"We analysed the movement of the victim and her contacts and zeroed in on Shamim Quraishi based on suspicion. His mobile location was found in the Madurni hill region on January 11. When we quizzed him, he broke down and revealed the entire incident,’’ Superintendent of Police (SP) Kaimur Lalit Mohan Sharma said.
