What’s the case

Upon questioning, the Guwahati man alleged that his wife, Riya, was involved in an affair and the two had frequent arguments about the same. One of the police officials claimed that the couple had an argument on the night of September 3, which escalated to the extent that Goswami lost his temper.

Following this, he took a “dao” (machete) and severed his wife’s head and chopped off her fingers. “We are verifying the facts as claimed by the husband. Detailed interrogation is yet to be done. We are examining the circumstances leading to the crime. Further details can be shared after thorough investigation," the officer said. “No regrets and no apologies. If I come out, then I shall kill the Sugar Daddy," the accused said.

Reports said that the couple tied knots around six months ago and shifted to the neighbourhood. The victim worked at a boutique in the AC Market area of Fancy Bazar, while Goswami works as a cab driver. She was reportedly living without her parents and is survived by her only brother.
