A severely mutilated body identified as 20‑year‑old Rajesh Koiri of Basudeva village was discovered in a bush in Buxar on Monday, prompting locals to block a nearby road.
Police officers were called to a remote bush on the outskirts of Buxar district on Monday morning after villagers reported a strange sight. The team recovered the badly damaged remains of a young man, later identified through local inquiries as Rajesh Koiri, a resident of Basudeva village.
The corpse showed extensive injuries: the victim's face was severely crushed and one leg was found severed from the rest of the body. Forensic experts have been summoned to document the injuries and determine the cause of death.
Distressed residents gathered at the site and, in protest, blocked the adjacent road for several hours, demanding swift action from authorities. Police deployed additional personnel to disperse the crowd and secure the area while the investigation began.
Investigators have opened a murder case and are canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses or any information that could lead to the perpetrator. The district superintendent has appealed to the public to come forward with any relevant details.
The incident has raised concerns about safety in the region, and local officials have promised increased patrolling in the coming days to reassure the community.
