Madhesh sees a spike in gruesome murder cases

Recent incidents attributed to issues of family separation, misuse of digital platforms, and extramarital affairs.

On Saturday morning, the Dhanusha police were notified that a house had been locked for a week at Baniniya settlement of Laxminiya Rural Municipality-5, about 12 km north of Janakpur. Neighbours were surprised about how a house that often had raucous quarrels had suddenly gone silent for days.
