Ex-Lover Arif Ahmed Arrested
Abhijit Chaliha, Bajali: In a deeply shocking and horrific incident, 19-year-old Monika Barman was allegedly raped, murdered, and her body staged to appear as a suicide by her former lover, Arif Ahmed, in Sarupeta under Bajali district, Assam. The crime has sent shockwaves across the region, sparking outrage and grief. According to police sources, Arif Ahmed, unable to accept Monika’s decision to move on and start a new relationship, resorted to blackmail using intimate photographs from their past. Consumed by jealousy and rage, Arif allegedly lured Monika out of her house around 4 a.m. through threats and intimidation. A heated altercation reportedly turned violent, during which Arif raped and strangled Monika. In a disturbing attempt to cover up the crime, he then hanged her body from a ceiling fan to stage the scene as a suicide. Monika's family, who have been residing near Arif Ahmed’s house as Indian citizens for the past 15 years, were left devastated by the gruesome discovery. However, prompt investigation by Bajali police uncovered inconsistencies at the crime scene, leading to the immediate arrest of Arif Ahmed. Police have confirmed that he is now in custody and further investigation is underway. The case has sparked widespread calls for justice and severe punishment for the accused.
