Patna: On Friday 5th August 2022, one Mohammad Jibril Alam, a resident of Pokhariya Tola village in Ramnagar Mahesh panchayat under Srinagar police station in Madhepura district of Bihar, beheaded his 30-year-old wife Murshida Khatoon and 3-year-old daughter Jia Parveen using a sharp-edged weapon just because he suspected his wife of adultery.

The accused, with his son and another daughter, was at large after committing the crime, said police.

The accused Mohammad Jibril Alam, after beheading his wife, placed her head near her parent’s house in the Godhaila village of Bharrahi police station area with a note that read “Here you take this and keep your beloved daughter with you”. The accused left his wife and daughter’s bodies and daughter’s severed head in his house. He placed the severed head of his wife on a culvert 200 meters away from her parent’s house and ran away with his son and another daughter.

Meanwhile, her severed torso and head of her daughter were found at his house in Pokhariya village. Alam also shared a video, which he recorded after the murder, on his WhatsApp group. On being informed about the incident, the local police rushed to the spot and recovered the severed heads and torsos of the deceased and took them to Madhepura for postmortem, police said.

Angry over the incident, family members of the victim blocked NH-107 for several hours at Chandni Chowk Godhaila village, demanding immediate arrest of the perpetrator. However, the blockade was later lifted after assurance by the senior police officials of stern action against the accused. Police claimed the reason behind the incident was yet to be ascertained.

Police sources said he was earlier thrashed by his in-laws and he had threatened to commit murders and surrender before the police. "Police have detained Alam's mother and his stepbrother to know his whereabouts," said Rajesh Kumar, Madhepura SP.

According to a report by ETV Bharat, the police sources have said that Mohammad Jibril Alam committed this crime because he suspected that his wife was involved in an illicit relationship. A letter stained with blood was found on the spot.

The police sources have also claimed that Mohammad Jibril Alam was thrashed by his in-laws some days ago and he had threatened at that time of killing his wife and surrender to the police. The police have arrested the mother and stepbrother of the killer. Further investigation is going on in this case.

Of course, people are disgusted with such frequent brutality by a peaceful community, one Jayant Singh @JayantS09657814 wrote, "Disgusting. Guess growing up slowly killing animals in the name of Qurbani totally desensitizes you to blood & killing. While I would like to think that most in the civilized world find the very thought of a killing revolting they r used to it."

Many such comments can be found by angry netizens over this incident.
