In-laws held over death of woman in Sirajganj

SIRAJGANJ, Sept 24 (UNB): Police detained parents-in-laws in connection with murder of a housewife allegedly by her husband at Tarash upazila in Sirajganj on Saturday.

The deceased was Nasima Khatun, 22, from Chak Jhurjhuri village.

According to neighbours, Nasima before her death alleged her husband Sumon and three of his associates tried to kill her.

Nasima and Sumon were married seven years ago and they have two children. Due to Nasima's feud with her in-laws Sumon took her to Dhaka few days ago but they returned home on Friday evening.

Around 3 am Saturday, neighbour Somej Ali and others spotted Sumon and some people trying to strangle Nasima beside a pond.

Sumon and his associates fled the spot immediately seeing them. Later neighbours rescued Nasima and took to her husband's house but no one opened the gate.
