According to police, the victim, who had been living separately from her husband- a college lecturer- due to marital disputes, was residing in a rented house in the Neemapada area. Around 8 pm on Tuesday, her husband, accompanied by several associates, allegedly stormed into the house after suspecting her of infidelity.
