Housewife found dead in Assam's Silchar; husband arrested, investigation underway

A 35-year-old woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances at her residence in Rangirkhari's Das Colony in Assam's Cachar district on Tuesday, July 14. Police have arrested her husband in connection with the case and are investigating the circumstances leading to her death.
 

The deceased has been identified as Champa Das (35). According to her family, they grew suspicious after repeated attempts to contact her over the phone failed at around 11 a.m. Her elder son, Bhuban Das, later went to the house and found her lying unresponsive on a bed.
 

The family informed the Rangirkhari Police, who reached the spot, recovered the body and sent it to Silchar Medical College and Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
 

Family members have alleged that Champa Das was strangled to death by her husband, Mrityunjay Das (40), who fled the scene after the incident. Police later arrested him following a search operation and took him into custody.
 

Meanwhile, videos circulating on social media purportedly show the accused, while in police custody, claiming that he had strangled his wife and citing domestic issues as the reason.
 

Police said the investigation is underway and that further legal action will be taken based on the findings of the post-mortem examination, forensic evidence and other material collected during the investigation.
