According to the police, 38-year-old Babli Devi was a resident of Kalyanpuri, Delhi. He was murdered on the bank of a canal in a forest near a village in Narsena area of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh.
Mystery solved through social media
On March 15, Babli’s decomposed body was found in Ghunghrawali village. When no clue was found at that time, the police cremated the body on March 18, considering it as unknown.

Husband died of cancer, accused used to work with her husband
Bulandshahr SP (City) Shankar Prasad said that investigation has revealed that the main accused Vikas Kumar (32) is a resident of Bulandshahr. He previously worked with Babli’s husband in a private hospital in Delhi and was well acquainted with the family. About two and a half years ago, Babli’s husband died of cancer. After this, a relationship developed between Vikas and Babli and both started living together in Delhi. But in December 2025, Vikas decided to marry someone else, which soured their relationship. Babli was constantly pressurizing Vikas to stay with her.
All three daughters lived with their grandmother.
Babli’s three daughters lived with their grandmother. On March 15, accused Vikas Kumar coaxed Babli and called her to his village in Bulandshahr. When Babli reached there, Vikas also called his cousin Sachin and friend Aman Kumar.
All three first drank alcohol and then tied Babli’s hands and legs and beheaded her with a sharp weapon. To hide the identity, they threw the head about 500 meters away. After this horrific incident, Vikas attended a family function in his village, got married and then returned to Muradnagar in Ghaziabad. To mislead the police, he had also lodged a missing report of Babli.

The weapons used in the murder, an illegal gun and a bike have also been recovered. Vikas and Aman have confessed to their crime. Efforts are on to nab Sachin.”
