A girl from Andal in West Burdwan district of Bengal who was working at Dehradun was allegedly pushed to death from the mountains by her live-in partner, her family members complained.
Seeking justice for the girl Nandita Mukherjee (name changed) her sister Antara said that her sister was living in with a man called A Chowdhury who belonged to Sahranpur in Uttar Pradesh.
Chowdhury who was subsequently arrested by the Uttarakhand Police allegedly pushed his partner from the hills and then burnt her body before faking a story for her sudden disappearance. He told her mother at Andal that she had left him in a huff and was not traceable.
The family was kept in a mist of concocted stories for more than month before finally he conceded over telephone that the victim had leapt to her death from the roof of her building. The man had been arrested, the family members said.
“We have no wherewithal to regularly go to Uttarakhand to fight the case … but we want justice for our sister … we want this man to be hanged,” the victim’s sister said.
