The body of a 30-year-old man, identified as Mohammad Saddam, was found under suspicious circumstances near a canal in the Paru police station area of Muzaffarpur district. The deceased had multiple deep wounds on his neck and head, reportedly inflicted by a sharp weapon, raising suspicions of murder. However, the Paru police are initially treating it as a road accident.

Saddam, a resident of Chak Lahalhad village in the Musahri police station area, had reportedly eloped and married a woman from Majhauliya, also in the Paru police station area, about nine years ago. After his marriage, he primarily resided at his in-laws' house. Saddam worked as a tailor master in Dubai and had returned to his in-laws' village for Eid al-Adha. On Monday evening, his family was informed of his death. His body was discovered near the Paru-Jafarpur canal, bearing severe cuts on his neck and head.

Mohammad Monajir, Saddam's elder brother, has rejected the road accident theory, alleging it to be a pre-planned murder disguised as an accident. Mohammad Shahnawaz Alam, Saddam's brother-in-law, stated that Saddam had gone to the market on Monday evening, and his body was found on the way back. He suggested that it could be either a murder or a road accident. Police are investigating both possibilities.

The Paru police station in-charge confirmed the recovery of a body by the roadside. While it initially appears to be a road accident, the presence of sharp weapon wounds on the victim's neck has been noted. With the help of locals, the body was retrieved and sent for post-mortem examination. Further legal action will be taken based on the statements and application from the deceased's family.
