Decomposed Body Found in Kalyan Flat; Woman Flees After Confessing to MurderPreviousNext

In Kalyan, Maharashtra, police discovered the decomposed body of 37-year-old Hamidullah Islam stuffed in a sack inside a locked flat's bathroom after residents reported a foul smell. The victim's live-in partner, Hasiba, allegedly killed him with a sharp weapon and fled to Kolkata, leaving a voice message confessing to the crime and mentioning the running bathroom tap, believed to be intended to destroy evidence. Authorities are investigating the case, including the circumstances leading to the murder and the couple's tenancy verification.
