MEDININAGAR – A gruesome murder shook Palamu’s Parpaine village in Tarhasi as health worker Anju Devi was found dead in her kitchen, her throat slit. Police confirmed the incident and sent the body for autopsy at MMCH in Medininagar.
Anju, who worked as a health worker, had been living in Ranchi with her husband Anoop Kumar and their two children. She had returned to her village only two days prior to the incident. Late Sunday night, her sister-in-law discovered the body and raised an alarm, attracting villagers.
