Guwahati: A horrifying incident unfolded in the B G yard in Bamunimaidam area on Sunday night, where a woman was brutally murdered by her brother-in-law following an alleged disagreement as she refused a marriage proposal.
The victim, identified as Galeza Bibi, was married to Kamal Khan. According to reports, she was attacked around 10 pm with a sharp weapon by the accused, Sabahmuddin Mondal, who is reportedly her brother-in-law. Galeza sustained fatal injuries after being slit in the throat. She was killed in front of her daughter.
Sources suggest that Mondal, who works as a carpenter, returned home in an intoxicated state before committing the crime. It is alleged that he had been pressuring Galeza to marry him against her will, despite her being already married. Her repeated refusal reportedly led to rising tensions between them, culminating in the fatal attack.
Following the incident, Chandmari police launched a manhunt for Mondal, who fled the scene immediately after the crime. He is currently absconding, and efforts are underway to trace his whereabouts.
