A woman's decomposed body was found in Rajasthan's Rampura hills, dumped near a wild animal den to destroy evidence, police said. Nearly 7,000 km of tracking across six states led to the arrest of Mohammad Sagar Ali alias Shahbaz Khan in Bihar's Saharsa district. Police scanned 200-250 CCTV cameras and identified 325 possible locations linked to the suspects across 40 districts. Police said the murder occurred on the night of June 22, 2026. Muskan, the victim, had been in contact with Shahbaz since January. He allegedly killed her with a stone, helped by an accomplice, because she planned to disclose names of people she held responsible for her problems. The accused was remanded to police custody.
