A married woman from Bihar who fled with her lover two years ago was found dead in Daman, her body hidden inside a trolley bag. Police have launched a manhunt for her live‑in partner, Rishabh Kumar.
Key Takeaways
- Victim identified as Chhoti Kumari.
- She eloped with lover Rishabh Kumar two years ago.
- Her body was found in a trolley bag in Daman; suspect remains at large.
Background of the Incident
Chhoti Kumari, a married woman from Nawada district in Bihar, left her husband and ran away with her lover Rishabh Kumar despite family opposition. The couple settled in Daman, renting a house and living together.
When she disappeared, her family filed kidnapping and missing‑person reports, but no trace was found for months.
Discovery of the Body and Ongoing Investigation
Daman police received a tip about a woman's body inside a trolley bag. Forensic examination confirmed the remains belonged to Chhoti Kumari, who had previously eloped with Rishabh.
Authorities allege that a dispute led Rishabh to murder Chhoti and conceal her body in the bag to destroy evidence before fleeing. A manhunt is now underway, but the exact motive remains unclear.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that such high‑profile elopement‑related murders highlight the urgent need for stronger protective measures for women who defy traditional norms, and underscore the challenges law enforcement faces in tracking fugitives across state borders.
"Improved interstate tracking and rigorous enforcement of women’s safety laws could prevent cases like this," says forensic expert Dr. Ajay Mehta.
