Narkatiaganj: A 35‑year‑old married woman was discovered dead under suspicious circumstances in a rented dwelling at Prakashnagar, Ward 11, sparking alarm among local residents. The victim, identified as Gudiya Patel, was found with visible marks around her neck.
According to available information, Gudiya had been living apart from her husband for nearly eight years; her spouse is said to reside in Nepal. She subsequently moved into the rented accommodation in Prakashnagar.
Family members allege that Ashish Jaiswal, also known as Siku, a resident of Ward 1, had been a regular visitor to Gudiya’s home for the past three to four years. Her mother, Anjani Devi, and sister, Varsha Devi, claim that Ashish strangled Gudiya to death.
The relatives also disclosed that an argument erupted between Gudiya and Ashish roughly four days before the fatal incident, and that Gudiya had informed her maternal family about the dispute.
According to the family, Gudiya’s nine‑year‑old son travelled to his maternal grandmother’s house on the night of the tragedy, leaving his mother alone. Her lifeless body was discovered later.
Police arrived at the scene after receiving a tip and began a thorough examination of the circumstances. SDPO IPS Prasanna Kumar MV stated that the case is being investigated from every possible angle, and that further action will depend on the post‑mortem report and any evidence uncovered during the inquiry.
