The assailant, brandishing the cleaver, even attempted to scare off the onlookers but was bravely subdued by the gathered crowd.

According to a report by Times of India, the victim, a Class III student, was lured away from his friends by Vijay Kumar Mahto, a man known for his unstable mental condition, who then decapitated him on the village outskirts.

Begusarai SP Manish Kumar confirmed the arrest of the suspect and said the weapon used in the crime had also been recovered. He also denied any connection to human sacrifice, describing the incident as an isolated act of extreme violence.

Meanwhile, the victim's father, Anil Kumar Mahto, has expressed profound anguish, revealing that he had no previous enmity with the accused. Disturbingly, Anil also claimed that Vijay had previously inflicted severe injuries on one of his nephews, severing a hand.
