Husbands forgetting crucial facts about their wives have led to many a marital argument but in this case, forgetting that his wife had a tattoo on her left hand led a Naigaon resident straight to prison. The Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police on Saturday arrested Mintu Singh and his brother Chunchun for the murder of Mintu’s wife Anjali, after which they are alleged to have dismembered her body and disposed of the parts.

According to the MBVV police, a suitcase containing the dead body of a woman washed ashore at the Uttan beach on Friday morning. It was spotted by a morning walker, who informed the police, and the cops opened it to find a headless body, hacked into two parts. While examining the body before sending it for post mortem examination, the police spotted an ‘Aum’ and a trident tattooed on the left hand of the deceased, which provided the first crucial clue.
