Patna: Nalanda police arrested Savera Kumar and his father, Subodh Kumar alias Karu Paswan, for the brutal murder of 23-year-old Intermediate student Anshu Kumar. On Jan 12, Savera allegedly lured Anshu to an abandoned house in Tharthari Bazar due to a love rivalry, as Anshu had grown close to Savera’s ex-girlfriend. The accused strangled him, hit his head with a spade, slit his throat, and dumped the body in a sack in a field. Anshu went missing Sunday afternoon; his body was found the next morning. Police recovered the murder weapons and his cellphone.
