Bihar News: AA shocking incident has emerged from Bhagalpur, Bihar, where the heads of buried corpses have mysteriously gone missing from graves in a local cemetery. This unsettling discovery has sparked widespread panic among residents, who suspect that head traffickers may be involved in this macabre trade. Reports indicate that these traffickers are excavating graves specifically to remove the heads of the deceased. One such case was reported in the Sanhaula block, where a grave was found dug up with the head of the corpse missing. Villagers claim that this is not an isolated incident; rather, it has occurred five times recently.

Last Monday, traffickers reportedly decapitated a woman’s corpse and stole her head; this body belonged to Badrujamma's mother, who had been buried six months prior. Over the past five years, several other bodies, including those of Mukhtar's mother-in-law and Mohid's wife, have also been exhumed for their heads.
