Shocking: Mother kills 10-year-old with help of lover, hides body in suitcase

“Dipali, who works at a clinic, had initially claimed that her son had gone missing and even lodged a complaint with the police. However, inconsistencies in her statements raised suspicions,” said a police official.

“Our investigation revealed that she had filed for divorce from her husband, Bikash Barman, two months ago and was in a relationship with Jyotimoy Haloi, a temporary peon at the Accountant General’s office,” the official added.

The official further said that both accused had conspired to kill the child and carried out the act in a “gruesome manner”. “Dipali is currently in our custody,” police said.

The authorities also recovered the child’s schoolbag from the crime scene. Both accused were taken to the location for a reconstruction of the sequence of events. A magistrate visited the spot and inspected the recovered body parts.
