NAGAON: In a sensational incident, one Shankar Lagachu, a resident of Majuli, attacked his wife, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law with a sharp object, leaving them critically injured at Nonoi Namkurigaon village under Nagaon PS last night here.
According to sources, the incident occurred around 11 pm when Lagachu entered into his brother-in-law’s house and attacked him first. He then attacked his wife, Anjali Bora, and mother-in-law, Anima Bora. Besides, the perpetrator also tried to kill his nine-year-old girl. But the girl luckily escaped from his attack with the help of some locals, sources added.
The injured were brought to a local hospital immediately for treatment, and the police have recovered the sharp object used in the attack. According to the victim’s family, Lagachu had married Anjali despite being already married and having three children from his first wife. He had also been physically abusing Anjali since their marriage, for which she was brought back later to her maternal house in Nagaon from Majuli a few months ago. The family alleged that Lagachu had been suspecting Anjali of having an affair with her brother and had been threatening to kill them. The locals have condemned the incident and demanded severe punishment for the perpetrator.
