Decomposed Body of Murdered Woman Found in Fridge in Madhya Pradesh

INIndia|

In a shocking incident in Madhya Pradesh, police have discovered the decomposed body of a woman, allegedly murdered by her live-in partner, inside a refrigerator. The victim, identified as Pinky Prajapati, was reportedly killed in June 2024, following pressure for marriage from the accused, Sanjay Patidar, who is already married.

The body was found on January 11, 2025, after neighbors noticed a foul odor emanating from the house rented by Patidar in Dewas. Authorities reported that Prajapati's hands were tied and a noose was found around her neck, suggesting foul play.

According to police, Patidar had been in a relationship with Prajapati for the past five years. It is suspected that he killed her with the help of an accomplice due to her insistence on marriage. Following the murder, Patidar vacated the house but left his belongings behind, causing suspicion when tenants noticed the smell from the refrigerator.

Dewas Superintendent of Police Puneet Gehlot revealed that after the electricity was turned off, the refrigerator stopped working, leading to the discovery of the body. The incident bears resemblance to the infamous Shraddha Walkar murder case, which attracted widespread media attention in 2022.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities gather more evidence surrounding this distressing case.

Rajasthan NGO Busted for Human Trafficking Under Mass Marriage Scam

Authorities in Rajasthan have dismantled a human trafficking operation disguised as a non-governmental organization (NGO) that falsely claimed to facilitate mass marriages for women from impoverished backgrounds. The Gayatri Sarva Samaj Foundation, located in a farmhouse near Bassi, allegedly bought girls from agents trafficking children from Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh, selling them to young men for prices ranging between ₹250,000 to ₹500,000 (approximately $3,000 to $6,000), as reported by Bassi police station in-charge Abhijit Patil. The scheme came to light when a 16-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh escaped and contacted police, leading to a raid on the farmhouse. During the operation, officials arrested the NGO's director, Gayatri Vishwakarma, along with three accomplices, including Hanuman, Bhagwan Das, and Mahendra. Investigators revealed that Vishwakarma had been involved in approximately 1,500 such arranged marriages and had multiple prior cases against her. Authorities also found that she falsified identification documents to misrepresent the ages of minors, indicating a deep-rooted criminal enterprise.
