Taur Ali, a resident of Prakash Latiapura Village Panchayat in the Unakoti region of Tripura, brutally murdered his wife, Nichhafa Begam, on Saturday in a terrible and shocking occurrence.
According to the reports, on the night of May 18, around 1 am, a violent altercation erupted between the couple when Nichhafa refused to comply with Taur Ali’s monetary demands.
In a fit of rage, Taur Ali attacked her with a sharp blade, delivering five vicious blows to her head and neck. Nichhafa Begam succumbed to her injuries on the spot.
Reportedly, the accused, Taur Ali, immediately fled from the spot after committing the crime.
When the Irani Police Station officers got there on Sunday morning, they moved Nichhafa Begam’s body to the mortuary of the Unakoti District Hospital so that it could be examined postmortem.
In addition, Taur Ali has escaped the scene and a suspect has been taken into custody for interrogation, therefore the police have initiated a vigorous manhunt to capture him.
While speaking to ANI, an OC (officer in charge) of the Irani Police Station, Jatindra Das, said, “We received reports of Nichhafa Begam’s murder. The preliminary investigation indicates she was killed by her husband, Taur Ali, over a monetary dispute. We are actively searching for the accused and are committed to bringing him to justice.”
As per police officials, Nichhafa Begam had been subjected to continuous abuse by her husband, Taur Ali, who had been demanding money from her father’s house for a long time.
Nichhafa sought refuge at her father’s house to escape the abuse, but her husband made her come home even though she was very sick and had just had an operation outside the state.
Nichhafa’s younger brother claims that, in spite of her family’s strong objections, Taur Ali had been putting pressure on Nichhafa to get money to pay for her medical bills. Nichhafa was tortured mercilessly when Taur Ali forced her to return home.
Their three sons are devastated by the unfortunate event, especially the two younger ones who are still at home, while the oldest son is currently abroad in Bengaluru looking for work. The local community has denounced Taur Ali’s conduct as cruel and barbaric, and they are calling for a prompt and serious punishment for him.
The locals’ collective sorrow and rage are reflected in the growing calls for Taur Ali’s arrest and severe punishment.
