A new shocking incident has come to light from Jharkhand’s Palamu district. A 16-year-old girl has been detained for allegedly murdering her husband with the help of her boyfriend.

According to reports, the case came to light after the decomposed body of 19-year-old Sarfraz Khan was discovered on July 3. The body was found in the Piparhwa forest, located under Nawajaipur police station limits.

Marriage Less Than Two Months Old

According to Superintendent of Police Reeshma Ramesan, the teenage girl, a resident of Sinjo village, had married Sarfraz Khan on June 22. However, despite the recent wedding, the couple had been living separately. Investigations revealed that the girl was unwilling to stay in the marriage and wished to reunite with her boyfriend.
