In the town of Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, a father's fear of social shame and his inability to accept his minor daughter's autonomy ended in an act of devastating violence. Biggan Ansari killed and dismembered his own child, scattering her remains across train stations and ponds before CCTV footage traced his movements and led to his arrest. This case places before us one of humanity's oldest and most painful tensions — the collision between a parent's sense of honor and a young person's emerging selfhood — and reminds us of the mortal cost that tension can exact when it hardens into rage.
UP Man Arrested for Killing, Dismembering Daughter Over Affair Suspicions
A minor daughter was killed and dismembered by her father; her body parts were scattered across multiple locations including a pond.
He feared the social stigma and was angered with her decision.
Mark
Why did he put the body on a train at all? Why not just hide it locally?
Mimi
The source doesn't say. He may have been trying to move it far enough away that it wouldn't be connected to him, or he may have panicked. We know he used his e-rickshaw to get to the station, so he had some plan, but his reasoning for the train specifically isn't explained.
Luke
Right—and we should be careful here. We know what he told police during interrogation, but we don't know if that's the full story or if there were other people involved who haven't been named yet. The reporting says relatives helped him, but doesn't name them or explain their roles.
Mark
The two daughters who left home earlier—did they leave because of similar suspicions, or for other reasons?
Mimi
The source only tells us that Ansari believed they would leave, and that he feared his third daughter would follow. It doesn't explain why the first two left or what their circumstances were. That's a gap in what we know.
Luke
Exactly. And that's important context. We're told he killed over "suspicion of an affair," but we don't have the daughter's side of the story, or confirmation of what her actual relationship status was. We have only his account of his suspicions.
Mark
How did police connect the box at the station to a specific person so quickly?
Mimi
CCTV footage from the train station showed him and a woman loading it. Once they had that image, they showed it to people in the area and someone recognized him. That's how they got the name.
Luke
That worked because he was local enough to be recognized. But it also means the investigation depended on someone knowing him and being willing to identify him to police. If he'd been a stranger passing through, that step might not have happened.

- Railway police in Lucknow opened an abandoned tin box at Gomti Nagar station and found the dismembered torso of a minor girl, with her limbs packed separately above it.
- Her father, e-rickshaw driver Biggan Ansari, had killed her in a rage over suspected romantic involvement, then transported her remains by train to avoid immediate discovery.
- CCTV footage from multiple railway stations across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar became the thread that unraveled the crime, allowing investigators to trace the journey of the box back to its origin.
- Locals near Tamkuhi station recognized Ansari from a security screenshot, leading to his arrest and a confession in which he named relatives as accomplices in the dismemberment and transport.
- Authorities have recovered the murder weapon and most of the victim's remains, but are still searching a pond near the Bihar border for her severed head as the investigation continues.
In the town of Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, a father's fear of social shame and his inability to accept his minor daughter's autonomy ended in an act of devastating violence. Biggan Ansari killed and dismembered his own child, scattering her remains across train stations and ponds before CCTV footage traced his movements and led to his arrest. This case places before us one of humanity's oldest and most painful tensions — the collision between a parent's sense of honor and a young person's emerging selfhood — and reminds us of the mortal cost that tension can exact when it hardens into rage.
On May 17, railway police in Lucknow made a grim discovery at Gomti Nagar station — a tin box containing the torso of a minor girl, her hands and legs packed separately in a bag placed above it. The find opened an investigation that would cross state lines and ultimately lead back to the girl's own father.
Biggan Ansari, who drives an e-rickshaw in Kushinagar district, confessed to killing his daughter in what he described as a fit of rage. He had suspected her of being involved in a romantic relationship and feared, as two of his other daughters had already left home, that she would do the same. Unwilling to accept her choices and dreading the social stigma he believed would follow, he waited until his wife and sons had left to visit relatives before carrying out the killing. He then dismembered her body with the help of relatives and transported the parts by train to Lucknow, using his own vehicle to bring the box and bag to Tamkuhi railway station.
The investigation moved carefully across stations and state borders. Police reviewed CCTV footage from Chhapra in Bihar and from Tamkuhi, where cameras had captured Ansari and a woman loading the box onto a train. When officers showed the footage to residents near the station, Ansari was identified and arrested. During interrogation, he admitted to the killing and named relatives who had allegedly assisted him.
The murder weapon has been recovered and a formal case filed. Ansari's daughter's head, which he said he threw into a pond near the Bihar border in Kushinagar, had not yet been found as of the time of reporting. Investigators continue to search the pond and work to identify and apprehend those who helped him — a case that lays bare the lethal intersection of patriarchal control, social fear, and a young girl's right to simply exist on her own terms.
On May 17, railway police in Lucknow opened a tin box left at Gomti Nagar station and found the torso of a minor girl, her hands and legs packed separately in a bag stacked above it. The discovery set in motion an investigation that would lead police across state lines, through railway station security footage, and ultimately to an arrest in a case rooted in a father's fear of social shame.
The girl's head had been severed and thrown into a pond near the Bihar border in Kushinagar district. Her father, identified as Biggan Ansari, had dismembered her body and transported the parts by train after killing her in what he later told police was a fit of rage over suspicions about her romantic involvement. Ansari, who drives an e-rickshaw, had used his vehicle to carry the box and bag to Tamkuhi railway station in Kushinagar, where CCTV footage captured him and a woman placing the box onto a train bound for Lucknow.
The investigation moved methodically. Police teams traveled to Chhapra in Bihar to review security footage from the originating station. They returned to Kushinagar and studied the CCTV images showing the man and woman loading the box. When officers showed the screenshot to locals near Tamkuhi station, residents identified Ansari. Police arrested him, and during interrogation he confessed to killing his daughter and dismembering her body with help from relatives whose names remain part of the ongoing investigation.
Ansari's motive, as he explained it to police, was rooted in family history and social fear. Two of his daughters had already left home, and he believed his third daughter would follow the same path. The prospect of losing another child, combined with what he perceived as her involvement in an affair, triggered his rage. He was not willing to accept her choices and feared the damage to his standing in society. To execute his plan without immediate discovery, he waited until his wife and two sons had gone to visit relatives on his wife's side of the family.
The murder weapon has been recovered. Police have filed a first information report under relevant criminal sections and sent the victim's remains for post-mortem examination. As of the reporting date, authorities were still searching for the girl's head in the pond where her father said he had disposed of it. Biggan Ansari remains in custody, while investigators work to identify and apprehend the relatives who allegedly assisted him in dismembering the body and transporting it to the station.
