According to police, the accused, Dildar Ansari, and his family members quarrelled with the 22-year-old, Rubika Pahadin on Friday night. In a fit of rage, the accused husband and his family members killed her and chopped her body into several pieces. The accused married Pahadin nearly a month ago and she was his second wife.

The DIG said the family of the accused had taken exception to the second marriage of Ansari, who had also registered a complaint that his wife had gone missing. The matter came to light after locals found some body parts of a woman who was dragged by some stray dogs. Later, they informed the police. An investigation is underway for more details.
Second such incident after the Shraddha Walkar murder case
It is worth mentioning this was the second such incident in the past month a woman was brutally killed and chopped into pieces by her partner. Recently, the nation went in shock after Aaftab Amin Poonawala cut the body of his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar into 35 pieces and kept it in a refrigerator for almost three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli in south Delhi. Later, he dumped the pieces across the city over several days.
A total of 13 decomposed bones and part of a jaw were collected from the Mehrauli forest that was suspected to belong to a 27-year-old woman. The Delhi Police confirmed on Thursday that some of the remains of the body parts recovered from forests in Mehrauli and Gurugram belonged to Shraddha Walkar.
