Indian media reported a very horrifying incident in which Chintada Ravindra, an Indian navy officer, killed his lover named Polipalli Monika, at his house in Visakhapatnam.

Circle Inspector of Police (CI) in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam, stated that the incident took place in a house at LV Nagar. The police found the remains of the body dismantled at different places. Some of the body pieces were found in the refrigerator while others in a gunny bag at the suspect’s residence. The head of the victim was not found and authorities suspect that it is disposed of at a different location.

Ravindra, a 35 years old navy officer, reportedly met Mounika on a dating app in 2021. Ravindra’s wife went to her parents’ home for a few weeks, and he allegedly took the opportunity to spend time with his lover. So, he called Mounika over on Sunday.

Ravindra, after committing the crime, went to police station and confessed his crime. He told the authorities that Mounika had taken Rs 3.5 lac from him and she frequently threatened him to reveal their relationship to his wife. This led to a dispute, which reportedly escalated into the crime.

A special police team has been appointed to find the remaining body parts, the matter is still under investigation.

This occurrence brought up the brutal case of Shradha Walkar in 2022. Walkar was reportedly strangled to death by her live-in partner, AA Poonawala. According to reports, he dismembered her body, stored the parts in a refrigerator, and disposed of them at various locations across the city over several days to evade detection.
