In a shocking incident on Friday, a man had killed his wife within the premises of the District and Sessions Court in Assam.

According to the police the incident had taken place around 10.30 am, when one Purna Nahar Deka attacked his wife Rita Nahar Deka outside the room of the Districts and Sessions Judge of Dibrugarh.

Reportedly, the husband and wife had gone to the court for the hearing of their daughter's molestation case.

Inspector Sidheswar Borah said, "The wife had filed a FIR about nine months ago accusing her husband of raping their daughter. The two arrived in the court for hearing of the case. Both were seated on a bench outside the court room."

Suddenly, Purna started hitting Rita  with sharp weapons.

"We rushed her to the Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh but the doctors declared her brought dead. We have arrested the man," said Borah.

The man told the media that he killed his wife as she had filed a false case against him.

"I am innocent… She filed a false case against me involving my daughter. She did not even allow me to come home after I was released on bail. So I killed her today," said Deka after his arrest.
