Aizawl: In a shocking development from Aizawl, Lalremruati has been apprehended and placed under judicial custody, admitting to the alleged murder of her husband, 39-year-old Lalchhuanawma, at their Mission Vengthlang home. Mizoram Police confirmed the confession, sending ripples through the quiet community.
Officials from Kulikawn Police Station stated the tragic incident occurred earlier this week. Lalremruati was swiftly taken into custody following the alleged crime and presented before the court the subsequent day. While another individual was briefly questioned, authorities maintain that Lalremruati is currently the sole suspect in the ongoing investigation.
Adding a rare and potent voice to the matter, Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP), the state’s leading women’s organisation, has unequivocally condemned the act. MHIP, a steadfast advocate for women’s rights since its inception in 1974, labelled the incident as “deeply disturbing and unacceptable,” stressing the imperative that such violence not recur. The organisation has urged for justice to be meted out promptly and impartially.
This distressing case emerges close on the heels of another high-profile and nationally scrutinised murder in the Northeast. In Meghalaya, the mutilated remains of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi were discovered on June 2 in a deep gorge in Sohra, East Khasi Hills district, after he went missing during his honeymoon on May 23. His wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, along with others, remains under scrutiny concerning his demise.
Furthermore, three individuals arrested in Madhya Pradesh for their alleged involvement in concealing evidence in the Raghuvanshi case were remanded to judicial custody on July 2. Notably, Sonam’s own brother has publicly called for stringent action against her, highlighting the intensifying public demand for accountability in both unfolding narratives.
As investigations continue into the Mizoram case, social organisations and citizens alike are increasingly vocal, demanding more robust measures to combat domestic violence, irrespective of gender.
