Man arrested for allegedly killing wife’s lover with sharp weapon in Bagdogra

Bagdogra, 31st August: A man was arrested in Bagdogra for allegedly killing his wife’s lover with a sharp weapon following a dispute between the two.

According to reports, Malaku Munda, a mason and resident of Deomoni Tea Garden in Bagdogra, married Sunita Munda 15 years ago. Around seven years after their marriage, Sunita allegedly became involved in a relationship with a man named Mithu Barman.

Mithu was taken to a private hospital for treatment, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
