In a fit of rage, Ganesh attacked his wife Arnapurna with a sharp weapon before beheading her.

After committing the crime, the accused put the severed head in a bag and peddled eight km to Astaranga police station to confess. The cops later seized the body and began an investigation into the incident.

However, police officials could not be contacted to comment on the incident.
