What began as a love story ended in heartbreak and tragedy in Guwahati’s Kahilipara area, leaving an entire neighborhood in shock.
In Kalyani Nagar, a young couple living together in a rented house met a grim fate on Thursday morning. The man, identified as Navjyoti Talukdar, allegedly died by suicide, while his partner, Sushmita Das, was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition after attempting to take her own life. The two had reportedly been in a live-in relationship for about a year.
According to sources, there had been growing tension between the two for quite some time. Frequent quarrels and misunderstandings had become a part of their daily life. On the day of the incident, things took a dark turn. Navjyoti allegedly locked Sushmita inside one of the rooms and ended his life in the house. Moments later, Sushmita somehow managed to inform the police before attempting to end her life by slashing her wrist.
Police rushed to the spot after receiving the call and found Navjyoti dead. His body was sent for post-mortem. Meanwhile, Sushmita was immediately taken to Hayat Hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
When questioned at the hospital, Sushmita reportedly admitted that their relationship had been on the rocks for quite some time. Regular fights and emotional stress had taken a toll on both of them.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
Sources mentioned that Sushmita is employed at a satellite news channel in the city.
