In mid-August 2026, authorities in Agra, India, began investigating the discovery of three unidentified bodies—a man, a woman, and a young girl—found on railway tracks in the Barhan area within a 36-hour window. While investigators initially considered the possibility of suicide for the male victim, the circumstances regarding the woman and child remained unclear. By late August, a separate and more violent investigation unfolded in Tamil Nadu involving the Agra Express. Police discovered human body parts inside a red suitcase left at Guduvanchery station. CCTV footage led investigators to a residence in Masjid Street, where they found evidence of a violent crime, including dismembered remains and a large vessel used for cooking. The suspects, a couple from Odisha identified as Manik Udin Lashkar and Manji, were apprehended. The victim, Hayathun Nisha, had been residing with the suspects since June. Further details emerged regarding the Guduvanchery case, identifying the victim as 38-year-old Hayathun Nisha from Odisha. The remains were initially discovered on August 5 in a general compartment of the Tamil Nadu Express at Agra Cantonment railway station. While some media reports suggested the suspects attempted to cook the remains, police have officially denied these claims. Authorities identified the suspects as Manik Uddin Laskar of Assam and Bhagabati Majhi of Odisha, noting that Nisha had reportedly been in a relationship with Laskar.
