A man was arrested on Monday night from Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH), on charges of killing his wife Sharmin Akhter Mitu, 22.
The arrestee is Md Solaiman Liton, said police.
Inspector (investigation) Shahadat Hossain of Panchlaish Police Station said Liton brought his wife to CMCH on Monday night in an unconscious condition, where doctors pronounced her dead.
Shahadat said on information from the CMCH police outpost, they rushed to the hospital and detained Liton.
“We found an injury mark on the victim’s face, and a mark of asphyxiation on her neck,” said the inspector.
Victim’s mother Cheman Ara Khatun said Mitu and Liton got married just two months ago. The bride’s family gave Tk 50,000 cash along with furniture as per groom’s “family’s demand”, on the wedding day. “After marriage, she was often tortured by her husband, and we had several meetings to resolve the issue,” she said in a choked voice at CMCH yesterday, claiming that Liton killed her daughter over dowry.
“I talked to her at around 8pm over the phone, and at 10:30pm I got my daughter’s death news,” she said.
A maternal uncle of Mitu said he was called from the hospital by a doctor with the death news. He said he told the doctor to detain the husband, who brought her to the hospital.
“The victim’s mother filed a case accusing Liton and his parents with Panchlaish Police Station in this connection,” said inspector Shahadat. The autopsy of the victim was performed at CMCH morgue yesterday.
