The Talachua Marine police on Wednesday arrested a 30-year-old woman for attempting to kill her husband Dipendu Barik and also forcing her sexagenarian mother-in-law to consume pesticide.
The incident occurred on Monday night at Dolasahi village. The arrestee was identified as Mitarani Mandal, who used to oppose her husband to keep her elderly father-in-law and sick mother-in-law with them.
Mitarani forcibly provided pesticide to her mother-in-law to kill her. While Dipendu was in deep asleep, Mitarani went on assaulting him brutally with a bamboo stick. To save him, Dipendu jumped into a nearby pond.
Police produced Mitarani in the Rajnagar JMFC Court where she was remanded to jail custody after her bail plea was rejected.
