Man beheads wife and walks through village with her severed head in Korba, India.
NEWS:
A man was arrested in Korba district, Chhattisgarh, India, after police said he killed his wife, beheaded her and walked through Bundeli village carrying the severed head.
The case was reported from Bundeli village, under the Rajgamar police outpost area. The accused was identified as Salik Ram Yadav. Police said he worked as a watchman at a local poultry farm, where he lived with his wife and children.
Video connected to the case shows the aftermath of the killing and the accused moving through the village with the severed head. The footage confirms the public act after the killing. It does not independently establish every detail of the argument before the murder, the full motive, or the complete sequence inside the home before the recording began.
Police accounts said the killing followed a domestic dispute. Reports attributed to police said the accused attacked his wife with a sharp weapon after an argument. Some reports said he was under the influence of alcohol at the time. That detail depends on police attribution and was not supported by a publicly available medical document in the material reviewed.
The victim was identified in Indian reports as Chechbai or Chhek Bai. Her age was reported inconsistently, with some accounts listing her as 50 and others as 42. Because of that discrepancy, her age should not be treated as settled unless confirmed by an official document.
After the killing, police said the accused walked through the village with the severed head and the weapon. Later accounts said he placed the head and weapon in a plastic sack. Villagers alerted police, and officers reached the scene.
Police arrested Salik Ram Yadav after the incident. The weapon allegedly used in the killing was seized. The body was sent for post-mortem examination.
Reports attributed the dispute to recurring conflict inside the marriage. One police-linked account said the accused claimed during questioning that frequent arguments occurred because his wife suspected his character. That statement should be treated as an account from police questioning, not as an independently established motive.
Several reports said children were present at the poultry farm premises when the crime occurred. The exact number of children and their direct proximity to the killing varied across accounts, so that detail is not stated here as a confirmed visual fact beyond the broader reporting that the couple had children and lived at the farm.
The verified facts are limited to the core case: a woman was killed and beheaded in Bundeli village, the accused husband was arrested, video showed him moving through the village with the severed head, the weapon was seized, and the body was sent for post-mortem examination.
No publicly available court record, charge sheet, autopsy report or institutional police release was found during the review. No conviction has been reported in the material checked. The accused remains described as arrested in connection with the murder.
