Guwahati/IBNS: In a horrific incident, a 60-year-old man in Assam allegedly beheaded his wife after a domestic dispute and then took her severed head to surrender before the police, media reports said.
The incident occurred in Chirang district on Saturday night.
The accused, Bitish Hajong, used a sharp weapon to behead her wife, Bajanti, and then carried the severed head in the storage basket on his cycle.
He surrendered before the police at Ballamguri outpost and is currently in custody, officials said.
According to reports, the accused is a daily wager from Uttar Ballamguri in Chirang district. He beheaded his wife due to domestic issues between them, police sources said.
A neighbour told the police that the altercation broke out after Bitish Hajong returned home from work on Saturday night.
Both husband and wife used to fight every day over petty issues, he reportedly said.
"We have taken the body into our custody and sent it for post-mortem. Forensic experts have collected samples. We have detained the husband and further investigation is on. We cannot speculate about the murder," NDTV reported, quoting Rashmirekha Sarma, Chirang Additional Superintendent of Police.
