Brajakishore was produced before the Court of CJM Bishnupur which remanded him to police custody for seven days.
On the other hand, the corpse of Mina was taken to her parental home at Singjamei Chingamakha after post mortem.
Bishnupur SP Th Radheshyam said that the exact motive behind the murder cannot be confirmed as of now.
Saying that Brajakishore has been taken into police custody along with recovery of blood stained clothes as well as the knife used in stabbing Mina, the SP assured that maximum efforts would be put in to file a charge-sheet at the earliest.
Whereas late Mina was a teacher at Yumjao Lairembi High School, Yumnam Leikai, her husband Brajagopal is an engineer posted in Bihar.
Mina and Brajagopal have no issue while Brajakishore has two children though he and her wife have been separated.
According to some local people, late Mina used to look after the two children of Brajakishore.
They did not hear anything about Brajakishore stabbing his sister-in-law last night nor did the family members inform about it their neighbours.
It was only this morning the neighbouring people came to know about the ghastly crime.
According to what was conveyed to the neighbouring people by the family this morning, they (family members) came to know about the incident when they went out of their home on seeing Brajakishore standing with a knife in his hand and heard Mina groaning.
