Agartala, Tripura, November 29 (HBTV): Tripura Police on Thursday night detained a woman identified as one Gita Rani Debbarma for her alleged involvement in the killing of her first husband Ramdhari, a resident of Haryana.   

The mortal remains of the deceased person were recovered from a reserve forest area in Kalkalia under Sepahijala district of Tripura, officer-in-charge of Bishalgarh police station, Sanjit Sen, told media persons.

Sen explained that a mobile phone found from the pocket of the deceased person led to his identification and his links with Tripura.   

“We found a contact number from the pocket of the deceased person. Using that contact, we could identify the deceased as Ramdhari, a resident of Haryana. Later, we came to know that he had arrived here in Tripura to meet his wife and children,” he explained.

According to police, the deceased tied the nuptial knot with Gita Rani Debbarma, a resident of the Bishramganj police station area.   

“In 2013, Gita Rani Debbarma went to Haryana and got married with the deceased. She stayed there for around three years and gave birth to a baby boy and on her arrival at Tripura she gave birth to her second child. The lady, however, got married for the second time with a local boy and now the couple stays at a rented house in Takarajala area under the same district,” Sen added.

Stating that prima facie evidence suggests that the man was killed by Gita Rani Debbarma’s second husband, the police official said, “Gita Rani Debbarma has been detained for interrogation. Sources have informed us that the deceased, his wife Gita and her second husband were sighted travelling on a scooter towards the forest land in Kalkalia. A manhunt is launched to trace Gita Rani’s second husband.”

A police case has been registered.

According to sources, circumstances suggested that there was an attempt to burn down the mortal remains with acid.
