Imphal, September 16, 2010:
A team of Porompat police station has taken into custody a 34-year old man on the charge of assaulting his own wife, who later succumbed to her injuries.
The accused husband identified as Mutum Herojit of Lalambung Makhong, but presently a resident of Hatta was arrested this afternoon.
The victim wife is said to be one Ziansia Anal (36). even though Herojit's arrest was in connection with the brutal assault of Ziansia, the wife passed away at around 4.15 pm today, by which time the accused husband was already in detention.
The husband-wife duo stayed together for about 9 months, said a police source.
After a quarrel broke out between the two on September 14, Herojit severely thrashed Ziansia, who reportedly runs a beauty parlour in Thangal Bazar.
She was admitted to JNIMS Hospital only today.
It is informed that Herojit admitted Ziansia to the Hospital with the contention that she was injured after falling from the bed.
However, doctors, who scanned her injuries advised Ziansia's relatives to report the matter to the police as the injuries were serious and unlikely to be a result from the fall.
Based on the relatives' complaint Herojit was pulled up, added the police source.
While Ziansia's body is being kept at RIMS morgue, porompat police have registered a case against Herojit and further investigations are on.
