Shimla: A couple among three people were arrested in Himachal's Chamba on Tuesday for allegedly killing a man and chopping his body into pieces over his relationship with their niece, police said.

The body was found chopped into pieces, they said.
According to police, Manohar and the niece of the accused couple, a minor, were in a relationship. The duo belong to different religions, which resulted in tension between their families and led to a scuffle. The girl has been detained by the police for questioning, said SP Chamba Abhishek Yadav adding that earlier,
A case of murder has been registered against the accused and an investigation is underway, police said.
Tension is prevailing in the area after the murder. Deputy Commissioner Chamba Apoorv Devgan has interacted with leaders of various sections and appealed to the people to maintain peace.
The murder comes days after a similar case was reported from Mumbai where a man allegedly killed his live-in partner and chopped her body into pieces in Maharashtra capital Mumbai.
The brutal killing took place in a 7th floor flat No. 704, of the Akashdeep building, though the date of the heinous murder was not known. The crime came to light this evening after some neighbours complained of a foul stench emanating from the closed flat and informed the police.
