Yet another case of a woman being murdered and her body chopped into pieces has come to light, this time in Uttar Pradesh.

Amid outrage over the Shraddha Walkar-Aaftab Poonawala case, it has emerged that a woman identified as Jyoti alias Sneha was murdered allegedly by her husband and his friend.

Police found the victim's body on November 8 in Sitapur after it was dumped at a distant location. The husband, identified as Pankaj Maurya, and his associate Durjan Pasi have been arrested.

Police said that the husband confessed to killing his wife. The accused claimed that the woman used to regularly consume drugs, and also stay at someone's home for days. The husband suspected his wife of cheating on him. The two were married for over a decade.

The manner of murder is similar to Shraddha Walkar who was strangled to death, and then her body was chopped into 35 pieces allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala.
