Jalpaiguri: Woman, sister ‘assaulted’ after she confronts husband over ‘love emoji’ on ex-girlfriend’s post

In her police complaint, Rubina said when she opened her husband Shahjahan’s phone she noticed that he had reacted with a ‘love’ emoji on a picture uploaded by his former girlfriend.

Rubina said she was aware of his former girlfriend when they got married over a year ago.

When he read his chats with the woman, she found that the two were regularly communicating with each other, she claimed, adding the conversations even included inappropriate messages.

She confronted Shahjahan over the issue, and it led to an altercation, she said.

Rubina said then she called her sister, Beauty Parveen, who lives nearby, for help.

Beauty alleged that she rushed to Rubina’s in-laws’ house after she heard of her sister being beaten up. She further claimed that Shahjahan and his family members attacked her as well when she tried to intervene. She claimed to have been hit with a bucket and a shovel by Shahjahan’s sister Rabeya. She allegedly fell on the floor with severe head injuries.

Shahjahan’s mother was also injured in the scuffle, police said.

Residents got Beauty and Rubina admitted to Dhupguri Sub-Divisional Hospital. Police arrived soon after being informed. A police complaint has been filed in Dhupguri, and an investigation has been initiated, officials said.
