She is currently undergoing treatment in the Dharmanagar District Hospital and doctors there stated her condition to be critical.
According to sources, the victim’s husband and in-laws had brutally beaten her on November 3 for being unable to arrange for dowry. Kabibur Rehman, her husband along with other family members often physically torture her. In the initial years of her marriage, the victim’s father provided the accused with cash.

When Miah accompanied by Das visited the victim’s house the next morning, they found her to be in bad shape. Her in-laws even tried to attack Das on being confronted about the entire episode.
Without wasting time, Miah and Das got her admitted to the Dharmanagar District Hospital.
