A 29-year-old woman's sudden death in Muzaffarpur's Mithanpura police station area has left the neighbourhood in shock. Amrita Kumari, a resident of Bela Kanhauli More, was married to Manoj Kumar, a Block Development Officer posted at Jale block in Darbhanga district. Her maternal family has now accused her husband directly, alleging that Manoj Kumar was involved with another woman and that Amrita was poisoned to death because of it. The case has triggered anger in the local area, with residents demanding a thorough probe into the circumstances surrounding her death. Police rushed to the spot as soon as they were informed and launched an investigation, and the body has been sent for a postmortem examination.
Death Came Before The Family Could Even Reach A Better Hospital
According to relatives, Amrita's health suddenly deteriorated, following which she was rushed to a private hospital for treatment. As soon as her maternal family learned about it, they hurried to the hospital and, seeing her critical condition, pushed to shift her to another hospital for better treatment. But by then, Amrita had already died. Still clinging to hope that their daughter might be alive, the family took her to the Sadar Hospital, where doctors declared her dead. Relatives claim that just before the incident, Amrita had a major altercation with her husband, and they directly allege that it was this quarrel, combined with prolonged harassment, that led to her being poisoned to death.
Married In 2023, Mother Says Daughter Was Tortured From The Start
Amrita's mother said her daughter was married to Manoj Kumar in 2023, and that within a few months of the wedding, she began being subjected to mental and physical torture at her marital home. She alleged that the BDO was involved with another woman, and that Amrita was beaten whenever she objected to it. The mother claimed her daughter was ultimately poisoned to death as part of this conspiracy. As soon as police at Mithanpura station were informed, they reached the Sadar Hospital and recorded statements from the family. A team from the FSL, the Forensic Science Laboratory, has also been called in to gather scientific evidence from the scene.
Postmortem And FSL Report Will Reveal The Real Cause, Says Police
ASP City Suresh Kumar said a case of suspicious death of a married woman has come to light, with her family accusing the husband of an illicit relationship and murder. He said that once a written application is received from the family, an FIR will be registered and further legal action will follow. He added that the body has already been sent for a postmortem, and the actual cause of death will only be confirmed once the postmortem and FSL reports are available. Police said the investigation would take into account both the medical evidence and the family's version of events before drawing any conclusions.
