A 28-year-old woman and her alleged lover have been arrested in Assam for the murder of her husband, who died after ingesting a lethal dose of sleeping pills.
In a shocking case from Assam’s Cachar district, a 28-year-old woman and her alleged boyfriend have been arrested for the murder of her husband, Imran Hossain Barbhuiya. The couple is accused of administering a high dose of sleeping pills to Imran, leading to his death on August 11.
Imran, 38, had recently been elected as the president of the Rajnagar-Khulichhara Gaon Panchayat in the South Dhalai area. Initially, his family claimed that he had suffered a cardiac arrest, but suspicions arose following the circumstances surrounding his death.
Imran’s brother, Najib Barbhuiya, filed a First Information Report (FIR) at the Dholai Police Station, prompting an investigation. The case has been registered under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, including murder and criminal conspiracy.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Rina Begum, the wife of the deceased, and Bashiruzzaman Laskar, also known as Biju, who worked as Imran’s personal driver. According to Najib, Rina and Biju had been involved in an extramarital affair for an extended period, which culminated in the alleged murder.
On the night of Imran’s death, Rina reportedly mixed a lethal dose of sleeping pills into his food. Following the incident, Najib, along with two close friends, initiated a private inquiry into the matter. Their investigation led to the discovery of incriminating WhatsApp conversations between Rina and Biju.
Authorities initially detained Rina, Biju, and three of Rina’s family members for questioning. However, based on the evidence collected and statements obtained during the investigation, police proceeded to formally arrest Rina and Biju. The investigation has since warranted the exhumation of Imran’s body for a post-mortem examination.
The incident has sparked outrage within the local community. Following the arrests, a group of locals confronted Biju, along with Imran’s father-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, leading to a violent altercation. Their vehicle was vandalized before police intervened and detained the individuals involved.
This tragic case highlights the complexities of personal relationships and the extreme actions that can arise from them. As the investigation continues, the community remains in shock over the events that transpired.
