Kurukshetra Police Complete Arrests in Gruesome Beheading Case of Disabled Man
In a significant development in a chilling murder case, the Kurukshetra police on Saturday arrested a woman, thereby taking into custody all three accused involved in the brutal beheading of a disabled man. The victim's mutilated body was discovered in Keshav Park, Kurukshetra, sending shockwaves through the community and prompting an intensive investigation.
Details of the Arrest and Investigation Timeline
The arrested woman has been identified as a resident of Khojkipur village in Panipat district. This arrest follows the earlier apprehension of two men: Mohit of Khojkipur and Manjeet Singh, also known as Kaku, from Hadtadi village, both hailing from Panipat. With this latest detention, all three individuals linked to the heinous crime are now in judicial custody, marking a crucial step forward in the legal proceedings.
According to police reports, the incident first came to light on December 30, 2025, when authorities received information about a headless body lying in Keshav Park. Senior police officers and specialized teams swiftly responded to the tip-off, rushing to the scene to initiate a thorough examination. The crime scene was meticulously analyzed with the assistance of a team from the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) based in Madhuban, ensuring that no evidence was overlooked.
Comprehensive Police Efforts and Key Breakthroughs
To tackle the investigation from multiple angles, the police constituted several teams, including units from the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA)-I, CIA-II, CIA-Ladwa, and the Krishna Gate police station. This coordinated effort aimed to uncover every possible lead and piece of evidence related to the crime. The body was sent for a postmortem to determine the exact cause of death and gather additional forensic details.
A major breakthrough occurred on January 13, 2026, when the severed head of the deceased was recovered from Sannihit Sarovar. This discovery not only provided critical evidence but also helped in positively identifying the victim as Sunil Kumar, a resident of Khojkipur village in Panipat district. The recovery of the head was a pivotal moment in the case, enabling investigators to piece together the timeline and circumstances of the murder.
Arrests and Ongoing Judicial Process
Following an in-depth and rigorous investigation, a team led by Inspector Mohan Lal, who is in-charge of CIA-II, first arrested the two male suspects, Mohit and Manjeet Singh. The probe continued, with detectives following up on leads and evidence, which ultimately led to the identification and arrest of the woman on Saturday. Her involvement adds another layer to the case, though specific details about her role have not been disclosed by the authorities at this stage.
The police have emphasized that all three accused are now remanded in judicial custody, ensuring they remain under legal supervision as the case progresses. The investigation is ongoing, with officials working to uncover the motives behind this gruesome act and any potential connections or prior incidents involving the accused or victim.
This case has highlighted the dedication of the Kurukshetra police in handling sensitive and complex crimes, particularly those involving vulnerable individuals like disabled persons. The community remains on edge, hoping for justice and closure as the legal system takes its course.
