Police investigate two gruesome discoveries in Odisha
Authorities in Odisha are investigating two separate incidents involving severed remains. In the Kalahandi district, a headless body of a young man, identified by family as 30-year-old Raju Bag, was discovered in an agricultural field along the Ladugaon-Supad road. The victim reportedly bore multiple injuries from a sharp weapon. Police, forensic teams, and sniffer dogs have conducted searches in the surrounding area and nearby streams, but the victim's head has not yet been recovered.
In a separate incident in the Nabarangpur district, the grave of a 27-year-old woman was allegedly desecrated in Narsinghguda village. Local reports suggest the grave was dug up 42 days after her burial, and her head was removed. Villagers reported finding signs of occult rituals at the site, including sacrificed chickens. While local superstition regarding black magic is suspected as a motive, law enforcement has not yet officially confirmed the circumstances or received a formal complaint.
