A woman who had married nine days ago was beaten up to death by her husband on the day she observed Sabitri Brata for him on Sunday here. The heart-rending incident took place at Katanabania village under Rajkanika police station, said IIC Sandhyarani Beura. According to the IIC, Pramila Rout(19), daughter of Biswanath Rout of Ananatapur village under Rajkanika police station, on May 9 had tied nuptial knot with Bikas Rout, son of Basant Rout of Katanabania village . But the marriage was solemnized without the consent of Bikas as he had a love affair with another girl. So the couple was not leading a happy conjugal life.
On Sunday night on the occasion of Sabitri Brata, a misunderstanding occurred between the couple following which Bikas demanded a bike from Pramila’s parents. When denied, Bikas allegedly attacked Pramila resulting in her death. She was later rushed to the local CHC for treatment but the doctor declared her received dead. On Monday Pramila’s father Biswanath lodged an FIR with police.
