In a shocking incident reported from Jharkhand’s Jamshedpur, an assistant sub-inspector of police was recently taken in custody for allegedly murdering his girlfriend by smashing her head on Monday.

The accused, has been identified as Dharmendra Kumar Singh, a 39-year-old assistant sub-inspector, who was stationed at the Sakchi police station, allegedly murdered Varsha Patel and disposed her dead body in a pond, Superintendent of police Subhash Chandra Jat said.


According to the PTI report, the accused murdered his girlfriend by crushing her head and then strangling her, a senior policeman said. The victim, identified as Varsha, aged 32, a native of South Park, went missing on 12th November and a police complaint was lodged at the Bistupur police station by her sister.

The Superintendent of police Subhash Chandra Jat revealed that the accused was in a relationship with the victim (Varsha) for more than a year. The accused told officials that Varsha was regularly blackmailing him to extort money and also prevented him from going to his native place in Bihar.

The accused was sick and tired of the blackmailing and decided to kill her, said Mr Jat. He then took Varsha to his house in the Talco area, and smashed her head against the wall before he throttled her to death, following the argument.

Following the murder, the accused stuffed her dead body in a plastic bag and disposed it in a pond. He also threw the victim's possessions into the Subarnarekha river and her mobile phone in a bush, which the police have found.

The accused left for his native place in Bihar, after killing his girl. The dead body was recovered on 18th November by sanitation workers and was later sent for autopsy.

In line with the evidence found after the investigation, the accused has been taken into police custody from his native village.
