Ujjain, May 31: A horrifying incident has come to light from Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain district, where a man brutally murdered his mother and dumped her body in a forest after becoming frustrated with her interference in his marital life. The incident took place in the Unhel police station limits. The accused, Arjun Bagri, first strangled his mother, Kamla Bai, and later, fearing she might survive, hacked her body with an axe. He then wrapped her corpse in a mattress and, with the help of accomplices, disposed of it near a cremation ground on May 27.

The murder came to light when Unhel police recovered a bloodied, mattress-wrapped body of a woman with throat injuries. The victim’s hand bore the tattoo “ॐ कमला बेन,” which helped police identify her as Kamla Bai, wife of late Ishwar Bagri, a resident of Dunalja village under Ingoria police station. She had been missing for several days. Maharashtra Shocker: 13-Year-Old Boy Kills Woman With Stone After She Tosses His Phone Into Water.
