Guwahati: Two days after Tulsi Das hanged herself, allegedly after a tiff with her husband, her body was lying at the Tinsukia police station in Upper Assam due to a dispute over her religion and how her last rites should be performed
The woman locked herself in and committed suicide by hanging, the police added. Ali works in hotel at Margehrita.
“On hearing of his wife’s death, Ali went back to Tinsukia and brought her body to Margherita for burial. But, he was turned back from two burial grounds on Sunday as he didn’t have any documentary proof of his wedding as per Muslim rituals,” the police said. Again, the body was taken to her hometown Digboi, nearly 17 km away, in an attempt to cremate her. But, locals refused to allow the last rites according to Hindu rituals. “This is a very unfortunate incident. We have contacted the family members of the deceased. Till a decision is taken on her last rites, the body is in our custody and sent to a government hospital morgue,” Puna Gogoi, in-charge of Tinsukia police station, said on Monday.
