Sirajganj, Feb 8 (UNB) – A housewife was reportedly strangled to death at her house at Mollapara village in Shahjadpur Upazila on Thursday night.
Police said 32-year-old Sonia Khatun, the wife of Abul Kalam Akando and daughter of Shah Alam Sarker, hailed from Tarash Upazila Sadar in the district.
The couple tied the knot in 2010 but their marriage had been rocked by Kalam’s extra marital affair, Shahjadpur Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge Golam Kibria said.
Kalam had also barred his wife from communicating with her family members for about a month. The husband and his family have gone into hiding after Sonia’s death.
Kalam’s family publicised the death as suicide but Sonia’s parents alleged that their daughter had been murdered.
On Friday morning, police recovered the body and sent it to Sirajganj Sadar Hospital for autopsy, OC Kibria said.
