Imphal, May 26 2013:
A young, married woman has reportedly committed suicide by con-suming insecticide yesterday around 4pm.The deceased has been identified as Sagolshem (N) Ningthoujam (O) Lata Devi (26) d/o (L) Loken of Sama-ram Makha Leikai.
She is married to N Surjit Singh (30) s/o (L) N Nabad-wip of Samaram Makha Lei- kai since the last 10 years.
They have a seven year-old daughter.
Surjit is a VDF personnel posted at Tentha.
Lata was found lying in an unconscious state at a paddy field near their locality.
She was immediately rushed to a private clinic at Wangjing where she was administered first aid treatment.
She was then taken to Thoubal Hospital from where she was again referred to RIMS.
Lata succumbed on her way to RIMS.
Meanwhile, addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, the mother of the deceased, Sagolsem (O) Raj-mukhi Devi said her daughter was forced to take the extreme step as she was unable to bear frequent beatings and torture by her husband and her in-laws.
Besides physically tormenting his wife, Surjit has also inflicted mental pain and agony to his wife by having extra marital affairs, Rajmu-khi alleged.
Though Surjit, his mother and two of his sisters were in police custody following a complain filed by the mother of the deceased yesterday, no FIR has been registered nor charge-sheet put up against them, Rajmukhi said.
She has also drawn the attention of all concerned organisations and the police on the matter so as justice is delivered.
Rajmukhi urged the police to conduct the trial fairly and deliver fitting punishment against the culprits.
The family refused to claim the body, which is still lying at RIMS Morgue, until justice is delivered.
