Imphal, June 30 NNN: A 35-year-old woman was found dead in the Wangoi River under Wangoi Police Station in Imphal West early morning Saturday.
\nThe deceased has been identified as Mutum Kunjeshwori, wife of S Muhindro, a resident of Irilbung Machahal in Imphal East.
\nThe body of Kunjeshworiu was spotted by some local residents in the river while fishing in the early morning.
\nKunjeshwori was a mother of two and that she was also pregnant. Police picked up the body and later kept it to RIMS mortuary.
\nShe had been sick for the last two days, her husband\u2019s family told the media and that her sickness might have been caused by her post malarial infection.
\nKunjeshwori was suppose to go to a doctor to treat her illness on the coming Monday, RK Memcha, sister of her husband added.
\nMuhindro had conversation with his wife as usual around 6:30 pm yesterday in the kitchen as she was making food. But, to the husband\u2019s surprise, she disappeared suddenly from the kitchen room and she went missing since then, Memcha further said.
\nThe couple did not have any quarrel in the kitchen while talking to each other, she maintained.
\nMemcha said that the family believes her sister-in-law committed suicide.
\nOn the other hand, Kunjeshwori\u2019s parental family insisted that her son made a call to the family informing that her mother had gone missing the same day and blamed her husband\u2019s family for carelessness about her illness for long days.
\nThey had no knowledge about her malarial infection but she suffered from high fever, her brother Mutum Shantikumar told the media at RIMS mortuary.
\nKunjeshwori\u2019 s parental home is located at Sagolband Moirang Hanuba Leirak in Imphal West.
\nSuspecting foul play rather than suicide behind his sister\u2019s death, Shantikumar further asked why his brother-in-law has been in the custody of Irilbung Police Station after surrendering to them.
\nHe said his family will not take the body but it will be kept three days at the mortuary and within these days the husband\u2019s family should decide whether to claim the body. However, the body will be handed over to them only after they produce the accused, he added. <\/p>\n\n
