Tapas Malakar, the Officer-in-Charge of Kalyanpur police station, said, “Prima facie evidence suggests that an altercation between the couple escalated into a violent confrontation, ultimately resulting in Pratima’s demise. During preliminary questioning, the accused husband admitted to his involvement in the assault.”
The couple was tied into the nuptial knot in 2017. The conjugal relations deteriorated over time, leading to domestic tensions. Pratima leaves behind a daughter.
A specific case is being registered in this regard. The accused is under police custody.
