The incident came to light when 51-year-old Jayamanti Devi’s son, Pushp Kumar, approached the police and filed a missing complaint.

During the preliminary investigation, Pushp Kumar’s sister and several local residents expressed suspicion that he might be involved in his mother’s disappearance, noting that he frequently quarreled with her, police stated.

Upon interrogation, the accused confessed that on Saturday evening, during heavy rain, he had an argument with his mother over a domestic matter and attacked her with a blunt object.

Jayamanti Devi sustained severe injuries on her head, hands, and other parts of her body from the attack. The accused admitted to strangling her to death. Taking advantage of the rain and darkness, he buried her body in a field approximately 100 metres away from their house, police disclosed.

Following his confession, police booked Pushp Kumar for murder and arrested him.

Rajgarh Deputy Superintendent of Police VC Negi announced that the buried body was recovered on Monday evening, and a post-mortem examination is scheduled for Tuesday.

The accused’s father, Lacchi Kumar, had passed away just two months ago.
