According to Area Police Office (APO), Kesharjung, the dead body has been sent to Malangawa-based District Hospital for postmortem.

Police have confiscated an axe from the incident site. Police Inspector Gaurav Mahat says it took them six hours to bring the dead body to the hospital as they had to reach the incident site via river.

It has been learnt that the couple often had disputes as Pariyar was a heavy drinker.
