A team of Tripura Commission for Women (TCW) led by Chairperson of Barnali Goswami met the Kangaroo court victim housewife in Teliamura Hospital on Tuesday.

Later, Goswami along with the Telimaura Police went to Baluchhara of Madhya Krishnapur where the housewife was forced by her husband Jitendra Biswas and others to marry her alleged lover.

During the visit, the TCW chairperson interacted with the humiliated and injured housewife. The latter narrated her ordeal and alleged she and Haradhan Mallik were mercilessly beaten by her husband, members of her in-laws family and other villagers. It is reported that the housewife made a specific complaint against some persons.

Barnali Goswami also visited the Baluchhara area. She held talks with the husband of the victim, Jitendra Biswas and wife of the alleged paramour Haradhan Mallik. Besides, she also spoke to other people.

Speaking to the media, Barnali Goswami said the victim housewife named several persons including her husband, Sujit Biswas, Ajit Biswas  and others.

Meantime, SP of Khowai District Bhanu Pada Chakraborty said Police started an investigation and the culprits would be arrested soon. 

The barbaric incident took place on Saturday night, but the incident came to light on Monday after the media reported about the incident.

According to the local sources, a 40 years old Arushpriya Biswas, wife of Jitendra Biswas – a resident of Madhya Krishnapur Balu Chhara area of Teliamura police station area – reportedly had an illicit relationship with Haradhan Mallik, a resident of the same area for a long time.

On Saturday, the wife of Jitendra Biswas went out of the house under the pretext of visiting her married daughter’s residence. However, Jitendra Biswas came to know his wife did not go to their daughter’s house – so he along with others went to the house of Haradhan Mallik. The villagers found the duo. After beating them, villagers held a Kangaroo court and forced the woman to marry Haradhan Mallik. Later Police rescued the duo – the woman is undergoing treatment at the Teliamura Hospital.      

The incident reminded the shameful Tata Kalibari incident at Chandrapur in Agartala that occurred during the Left regime.
