Assam: Woman kills husband in Dibrugarh, arrested along with two accomplices
Dibrugarh: A shocking twist emerged in the murder case of Madhurjya Boruah, an Assam water resources department employee from Chabua, as his wife, Prahelika Boruah, was arrested on Saturday for her alleged involvement in his brutal killing.
Police also apprehended two accomplices, Mayunta Gogoi and Bhaskar Saikia, in connection with the incident.
The murder occurred on the night of September 10 at Madhurjya's home at Jerai Gaon under the Chabua police station in Dibrugarh district.
Initially, Prahelika had misled authorities by claiming a group of four men had entered their residence, confined her and their seven-year-old child, and killed her husband.
However, inconsistencies in her statement prompted police to delve deeper into the case.
Investigations revealed that Prahelika allegedly had an extramarital affair with Mayunta Gogoi. Police believe the couple, along with Bhaskar Saikia, conspired to murder Madhurjya to carry out their plan.
After an intense interrogation at the Chabua Police Station, Prahelika reportedly admitted to the crime, leading to the arrests of the trio.
"The accused, Prahelika Boruah, has confessed to killing her husband. She has been arrested along with two of her accomplices," Dibrugarh Additional SP (Crime) Sizal Agarwal said.
On Saturday, hundreds of local women gathered outside the Chabua Police Station, demanding justice and the death penalty for the accused.
