# Kurukshetra woman kills husband, missing organs probed 2026-08-25T02:27:11+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A woman in Kurukshetra allegedly killed her husband by inflicting a deep abdominal cut and was seen putting his protruding intestines into a plastic bag before jumping from the terrace, police said. The post-mortem found part of his liver and his right kidney missing, prompting an investigation into whether the organs' disappearance is linked to the killing. The incident occurred on Saturday at a rented accommodation on Pehowa Road. The deceased, Rajesh, 40, worked as a water-supply employee. His wife, Vimla Devi, sustained serious injuries, including spinal damage, in the fall and is hospitalised. Police recovered three knives from the scene. The landlord said Devi practised traditional healing and the couple frequently quarrelled, but police said the motive is not yet established. Forensic expert Dr Gaurav Kaushik said about half of the deceased's liver and his right kidney were missing. A 37-cm incision was found on the abdomen. Police are investigating the whereabouts of the missing organs. Adarsh police station SHO Surender Sandhu said Devi would be questioned after her condition improves, and her arrest will follow. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This case echoes the 2017 murder of a man in Ghaziabad whose kidney was removed after he was killed, a crime that led to a wider crackdown on illegal organ trade networks. Under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994, removing organs without authorisation is a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Police must now determine whether the missing liver and kidney were taken post-mortem for illegal sale or as part of ritual practice, as the wife's reported involvement in 'jhaad-phoonk' may hint at a belief-based motive. The hospital treating Devi and the forensic team are key to establishing the sequence of death and organ removal. The woman's medical fitness for questioning will determine the next legal step. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Leads with grisly details of intestines and missing organs, drama-first framing over context This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
