Agra, January 27: Police in Agra have arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the brutal murder of an HR manager whose body was found decapitated and stuffed into a gunny bag. The victim, identified as Minky Sharma, had been missing since Thursday. Investigations revealed that the killing was allegedly carried out by her colleague, Vinay Singh, following a dispute regarding their personal relationship.

The investigation began after Minky Sharma, who worked at a private firm, failed to return home from work on Thursday evening. Their family filed a missing person report when they were unable to reach her. On Sunday, local authorities discovered a suspicious gunny bag discarded near a bridge over the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra.

The severity of the crime prompted an immediate forensic investigation and a search for the victim’s missing head, which was later recovered based on information provided during police interrogation. Following a review of call records and statements from colleagues, police detained Vinay Singh. During questioning, Singh reportedly confessed to the crime, citing a fallout in their romantic relationship.

According to police statements, Singh and Sharma had been in a relationship for some time. Tensions reportedly escalated when Sharma began pressuring Singh regarding marriage or formalizing their commitment, leading to frequent arguments. Singh allegedly lured Sharma to a secluded location before killing her and dumping the body near the Yamuna bridge in an attempt to dispose of the evidence.

Agra police officials stated that the murder was premeditated. Singh allegedly decapitated the victim to make identification more difficult and used a gunny bag to transport the body to the bridge. "The accused has been taken into custody and has confessed to the murder," a senior police official confirmed. "We have recovered the weapon used in the crime as well as the victim’s mobile phone and other personal belongings."
