Assam: Man arrested after fatally stabbing sister to death in Tezpur

A young woman was stabbed to death by her brother in the Natunpara area of Tezpur.  

As per sources, the victim was attacked by her brother, Abhishek Mallik, who allegedly stabbed her in the abdomen during the early afternoon hours on Saturday October 19. The incident occurred around 1 pm when no other family members were present in the house.

Abhishek, the son of former Tezpur B.Ed College principal Jayanta Mallik, reportedly carried out the assault in what appears to be a sudden and unprovoked act of violence. Arpita, grievously wounded, was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital in an attempt to save her life. However, despite desperate efforts, she succumbed to her injuries en-route to the hospital.

The motive behind the crime is still unclear, and authorities are working to piece together the circumstances that led to this tragic incident. The police have since apprehended Abhishek, and an investigation is underway to uncover the factors contributing to this devastating family tragedy.
