He was subsequently handed over by Dispur Police to Hatigaon Police Station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Riya Talukdar&#8217;s body was found severed into two parts at the rented house in Basisthapur. After allegedly killing her with a dao, her severed head was reportedly kept inside a refrigerator. The other portion of the body was found lying on the floor in an unclothed condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-158048 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/assamtimespost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ph.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"525\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">A dao, liquor bottles, bloodstains and other articles were reportedly recovered from the scene. Several household items were also found scattered inside the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">According to local residents, loud noises and cries were heard from inside the house on Saturday night. Ramanujan was reportedly last seen at around 8 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Neighbours have also told police that the couple frequently quarrelled. On Saturday night, they reportedly heard only Ramanujan&#8217;s voice and felt that he appeared frightened and was crying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The house door was reportedly not secured with an internal lock. Instead, it was allegedly kept closed by pressing it with a sock, according to the investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">It has also been learnt that Ramanujan had changed his hairstyle on Saturday. He reportedly had a history of drug addiction and had spent around three months at a rehabilitation centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Riya and Ramanujan had reportedly been married for around six months. Riya Talukdar was a resident of Noonmati and worked at a boutique in AC Market, Fancy Bazar. Riya, who had reportedly lost both her parents, had one brother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The incident came to light after neighbours informed the police following a foul smell emanating from the house. The forensic team has already begun examination of the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The body has been sent to GMCH for post-mortem examination. CID has taken up further investigation into the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The complete motive behind the murder, sequence of events and the role of the alleged extramarital relationship are expected to become clearer as the investigation progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ramanujan allegedly cooked and ate rice beside his wife&#8217;s body after killing her; explosive confession over alleged extramarital affair during police interrogation Shocking details have emerged in connection with the murder of Riya Talukdar at Bylane No. 4, Basisthapur, Beltola, Guwahati.
