Jamuna went on to assert that her sister-in-law called her at around 6 pm yesterday to pick her up from Singjamei area in a very suspicious manner.

Jamuna said that she subsequently dialled the husband of Romita and asked him to pick up his wife from the Singjamei area where his wife (Romita) was staying.

She continued that she told both Romita and Bidyananda to call her back after they meet to ensure the couple has no dispute.
