Last year, a shocking incident unfolded when a trainer at a gym in Guwahati was found responsible for the murders of her husband and mother-in-law over a span of two months.
The prime accused and alleged mastermind behind the gruesome killings, Bandana Kalita, along with two of her accomplices, Arup Deka and Dhanti Deka was arrested in Guwahati on February 19 for their involvement in the murders of Shankari Dey, Bandana's mother-in-law, and Amarjyoti Dey, her husband, which occurred between July and August of the previous year.
It was discovered that the trio had dismembered the bodies of her husband and mother-in-law before gradually disposing of the remains in Meghalaya.
