An Indian man beheaded his sister over a ‘love affair’ and then took the “severe head” in a sack to the police station.
Riyaz, 22, killed his sister Aashifa, 18, in Fatehpur area in Uttar Pardesh’s Barabanki.
Riyaz allegedly behead his sister with a sharp weapon and was on his way to the police station with her head in his hand when the police arrested him, Additional Superintendent of Police, Ashutosh Mishra said.
