Guwahati, Sep 1: In a heart-wrenching incident, a mother killed two of her daughters after a quarrel with her husband in Assam’s Cachar district.

The incident took place in the Hatikhaal area of Cachar district last night.

The mother has been identified as Ajmira Begum.

According to police, Ajmira Begum killed two of her girls, aged between three and 18 months, after drowning them in a nearby pond.

“She took the drastic step after a brawl with her husband (Babul Hussain) last night. The mother took two of her daughters to a nearby pond, tied them to herself with her dupatta, and then jumped into the water. We have recovered the bodies and sent them for postmortem,” said a police official.

Ajmira Begum, in her statement, said, “I have no one in this world, and so I wanted to end the lives of me and my children.

Ajmira is the second wife of Babul Hussain.

Sources said after Babul had a brawl with Ajmira last night, he went to the house of his other wife and slept there when the incident unfolded.

“We have heard some argument between Babul Hussian and her wife Ajmira regarding some matter. In the early morning, we heard somebody crying, and when we came out of our home, we saw Ajmira sitting in front of her daughters and crying. We have immediately informed the police about the incident,” said a local resident.

After the incident, the entire area was in complete shock.

Meanwhile, police have arrested Ajmira and started an investigation.

On August 25, 2023, another incident came to light in which a mother killed her infant girl child.

The incident took place in the Itakhola area of Assam’s Sonitpur district.

As per reports, the woman, identified as Anowara Khatun, killed the infant and buried her in a pit near the house.
