Police in Bihar's Kaimur find 18 severed body parts in two suitcases by Durgawati River, including those of a child, SP Hari Mohan Shukla says it appears a premeditated crime.

In a shocking incident, 18 severed body parts stuffed in two suitcases have been found under a bridge in western Bihar’s Kaimur district, police said on Monday.

Police said the suitcases were found on the banks of Durgawati River under a bridge located between Mohania and Ramgarh police station areas of the district on Sunday.

PTI quoted Kaimur SP Hari Mohan Shukla saying, “We received information from villagers that mutilated body parts were found under a bridge over Durgawati river here."

“Currently, there is no missing person report in Kaimur district. We have informed bordering districts about the incident," he said, adding that efforts are being made to identify the deceased.

The 18 body parts that were found included that of a 10-12 years old, Hindustan Times reported. Besides, nails of one of the severed hands had traces of nail polish.

“The criminals probably had dumped the heads at another location", a police officer said.

The SP said the manner in which the bodies were chopped off and dumped into the river seemed to be a premeditated crime. “They dumped the bodies in the river to destroy the evidence," HT quoted him saying.
