As per the case details, on February 9, 2017, Radhakanta out of previous animosity forcibly pulled Tarubala Bera and took her to a nearby 'Shiva temple' in their village and attacked her with a sharp weapon, and beheaded her.?

He then buried his grandmother's head and the weapon and fled.

Acting on the FIR lodged by the victim's daughter Arati Bera at Sankrail Police Station, police arrested Radhakanta.?

Several witnesses were examined in the case.
