In January 2021, Sanghamitra’s parents filed a police complaint against her, accusing her of theft. She was arrested and spent a month in judicial custody.
However, in March 2022, Sanghamitra left Nazibur’s home with their infant son and went to her parents’ home. Nazibur was arrested after she accused him of torturing her and registered a police complaint.

“A case of murder and house trespass has been registered against the accused,” Assam police chief GP Singh tweeted. The state CID team has been roped in to probe the murder.
