Aizawl (Mizoram) [India], July 30 (HBTV): Mizoram Police have arrested a woman for allegedly murdering her husband at their residence in Mission Vengthlang. The accused, identified as Lalremruati, has confessed to the crime and is currently in judicial custody.

The victim has been identified as Lalchhuanawma (39).

According to the Officer-in-Charge of Kulikawn Police Station, Lalremruati admitted to killing her husband. She was arrested shortly after the incident and produced before the court the following day, where she was remanded to judicial custody.

Another individual was also questioned in connection with the case but was later released. Authorities stated that no further suspects have been identified at this time.

In response to the incident, the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP), Mizoram's most prominent women's organisation established in 1974, issued a statement condemning the act. While reaffirming their commitment to protecting women's rights, the organisation described the crime as 'deeply disturbing and unacceptable'.

The MHIP called for full justice to be served and emphasised that such acts of violence must never be repeated by any woman.

Meanwhile, a separate case of murder has recently made headlines in the neighbouring state of Meghalaya, where Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead.

Raghuvanshi, who married Sonam Raghuvanshi on May 11, went missing on May 23 during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. His mutilated body was discovered on June 2 in a deep gorge in the Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district.

A Meghalaya court remanded three individuals to judicial custody on July 2 in connection with the murder. They were arrested in Madhya Pradesh on charges of concealing evidence and were initially remanded to police custody on June 26.

During the investigation, the brother of Sonam Raghuvanshi, one of the prime accused in the case, called for strict action against her.
