Imphal, May 26 2013:
A married woman was found dead in a paddy field near her house at Sambram Makha Leikai under Thoubal Police Station after she allegedly consumed poison.
Though the body has been picked up and kept at the mortuary of RIMS, the family members of the deceased women have refused to claim the body charging the in-laws of the woman with killing her.
The incident took place around 4:30 pm yesterday.
The deceased woman has been identified as Sagolshem ningol Ningthoujam ongbi Lata (26), w/o N Surjit of Sambram Makha Leikai.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Sagolshem Rajmukhi, the mother of the deceased woman, stated that her daughter got married to N Surjit, who is a VDF personnel, around 11 years back.
Even after their marriage, her husband had affairs with a number of women.
As such, he resorted to beating and torturing Lata, following which she (Lata) had come back in her maternal home a number of times.
But unable to bear the torture meted out to her, Lata committed suicide by consuming poison yesterday.
She was found in an unconscious state in a paddy field near her house at Sambram Makha Leikai.
She was immediately taken to a clinic at Wangjing from where she was referred to RIMS.
However, Lata, died on her way to RIMS, the heartbroken mother informed.
Charging the in-laws and Surjit with torturing Lata that compelled her to take the extreme step of committing suicide, the maternal family members of the deceased have refused to take the body and demanded immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the case.
A case has been registered by the Police into the incident and investigations are on.
