Police arrested one wealthy person for assaulting his wife and trespassing into a house at Teliamura in Tripura last night. Local sources said, Abhijit Das alias Bikram – son of a wealthy businessman of Teliamura as well as owner of a Bike showroom – physically assaulted his wife Sharmista Das and poured kerosene on her. In a desperate attempt to save her, Sharmista somehow managed to come out of the house along with her two babies and rushed to her mother’s rented house at Joynagar area in Teliamura.
Allegedly in an inebriated condition, Bikram went to his mother-in-law’s rented house where his wife took shelter. Bikram reportedly broke open the gate of the rented house. Helpless mother and Sarmista raised alarm and the House owner, Maloy Paul – also a reputed businessman of Teliamura – came out of his room and intervened. Miffed at this, Abhijit reportedly assaulted Maloy Paul and vandalized his house, local sources said.
Meanwhile, local Police reached Maloy Paul’s house and arrested rampaging Abhijit. Both Sharmista and Maloy Paul lodge two separate complaints with the Police against Abhijit. While Sharmista complained about domestic violence, Maloy Paul filed complaint against forceful entry in his house and vandalism. Police have started investigation.
Around 10 years ago, Abhijit married Sharmista, however, during last 3-4 years, Abhijit started torturing Sharmista physically and mentally, sources alleged. However, on Friday night, things took an ugly turn after Abhijit poured kerosene on Sharmista.
Local sources also said, Abhijit served jail terms on earlier occasion owing to such unruly behavior. “Disgusted at his addiction and unruly behavior, his father left the house and live in a separate establishment”, people known to Abhijit said.

He must be punished for his acts, otherwise it will create a bad instances”, one Sujit Bardhan of Joynagar area said.
