The police arrested Mukesh Dhankhoti, 27, of Ganeshman Charnath Municipality-4 on March 18, on charges of killing his wife, Bhima Kumari Mahato, 25.

According to Manish Kumar Mahato, the brother of the deceased, he found Bhima hanging on March 17.

They had entered into an inter-caste marriage five years ago. After the marriage, the issue of not having a child for a long time led to the victim being subjected to continuous physical and mental abuse by her in-laws. The victim’s family has claimed the death to be suspicious, alleging murder after bruises were found on her body.

The victim’s family filed a complaint against the accused at the District Police Office on March 18.

According to the police, the postmortem of the body was conducted on March 18 at the Provincial Hospital, Janakpurdham.

DSP Ganesh Bahadur Bam informed that the victim’s husband has been arrested, and further investigation is underway.
