In a distressing incident in Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) a dead body of a young woman was recovered on Sunday.

The body was recovered from the second floor of the old GMCH building. The deceased has been identified as Ayesha Khatun, aged 21 years.

Khatun was in the hospital with her husband after their three-year old child was admitted there.

She reportedly had an altercation with her husband last night, her mother informed, following which her body was found today.

Hadi Ali, Ayesha’s second husband, has been accused of killing her by her mother who was present when the heated argument between the two broke out last night.

Ali had a history of altercations with Ayesha as he repeatedly suspected of her being involved with her previous husband, the mother alleged.

Meanwhile, local police have reached GMCH and have started preliminary investigations. They are currently taking the statements of the witnesses.
