Nirmala Devi was accused of helping the killers find a house to stay in Dindigul.

Chennai: In a shocking incident, a 59-year-old woman was beheaded on Wednesday as revenge for the 2012 murder of Dalit leader Pasupathi Pandian and her decapitated head placed in front of his residence in Tamil Nadu`s Dindigul, police said.
