GUWAHATI: Bandana Kalita, the prime accused in the shocking murder case of her husband and mother-in-law, made her appearance before the District Judiciary on Saturday.
Accompanied by the two alleged accomplices, Arup Deka and Dhanti Deka, the trio was brought before the court to commence the trial proceedings.
This development follows Bandana's denial of all allegations and any involvement in the crime during a previous hearing at the special court on June 8.
Earlier in May, the Guwahati Police filed a comprehensive chargesheet against Bandana Kalita in the Guwahati Double Murder case.
A police official from Guwahati confirmed that the chargesheet had been submitted to the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
Contrary to specific media reports, the police official clarified to G Plus that the chargesheet filed is not 1600 pages long as previously speculated. Instead, it consists of approximately 1300-1400 pages, including relevant documents in addition to the chargesheet.
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.
