The remains were beyond recognition, leaving investigators with only a few clues, including soiled clothes, a clothing tag, bangles and a small Ganesha pendant.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Clothing tag, Ganesha pendant help identify victim<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Police first traced the clothing tag to a hypermarket where the garment had been purchased.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Investigators obtained a contact number recorded during the purchase, but could not make headway as one digit in the number had been recorded incorrectly.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>They then turned to the Ganesha pendant.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Their inquiries indicated that such pendants were commonly worn in parts of Odisha.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Police collected details of people from Odisha living within a 1.5-km radius of the site and identified eight women in the area.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Most responded to police calls, but there was no response from one number belonging to Anusuya.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Investigators then used tower-dump data to trace another number linked to her.

Inquiries at the hotel where the couple worked also revealed that they frequently quarrelled.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>The hotel owner told police that Anusuya had fought with Ravath over her salary on August 11. The owner of their rented house also confirmed their frequent quarrels and said Ravath had vacated the house a few days earlier.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>These findings led police to take Ravath into custody. During questioning, he allegedly confessed to strangling Anusuya and dumping her body at the vacant site.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>A police officer said the cleanliness drive provided the starting point for the investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>DCP (North-East) GK Mithun Kumar said the case was cracked through a combination of a clothing tag, phone numbers, technical analysis and a small Ganesha pendant.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/bengaluru\/bengaluru-man-strangled-wife-spent-3-days-with-body-before-dumping-it\/articleshow\/134504246.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The murder came to light when skeletal remains were found during a cleanliness drive at the vacant site.
