A shocking incident of domestic violence has come to light in Bihar's Vaishali district, where a 27-year-old woman was allegedly beaten to death by her husband and in-laws. The tragic event occurred on Thursday at Biropur village under the jurisdiction of the Sadar police station.
Details of the Incident
The deceased has been identified as Anu Kumari, wife of Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Biropur village. According to police reports, the incident reportedly stemmed from a minor altercation after Anu slapped her four-year-old son over a petty issue. This action allegedly provoked her husband and other family members, leading to a brutal assault that resulted in her death.
Anu's father, Subodh Kumar Mishra, revealed that his daughter had called him late on Wednesday evening, complaining about being assaulted by her husband and in-laws following the incident with her son. "The next morning, a local resident informed me about my daughter's death. When we reached Biropur village, we found Anu's body lying on a sofa, and her in-laws had fled," he stated, adding that Anu had been married for five years.
Police Investigation and Actions
Upon receiving information, a team from the Sadar police station promptly arrived at the scene and initiated an investigation. A forensic team was also summoned to collect crucial evidence from the location.
The woman's body has been sent to Sadar hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. Based on a formal complaint filed by the deceased's father, an FIR has been registered against the husband and in-laws. Subodh Kumar, the Sadar SDPO, confirmed, "The case is under investigation, and further action will be taken accordingly."
