 Bihar: Woman Lawyer Held for Role in Husband’s Murder

PATNA: A 

woman lawyer

 was arrested along with her male colleague and two others from Buxar on Friday night on charges of hatching conspiracy to kill her husband, Amrendra Kumar (48), who was shot dead on a four-lane near Shukulpur under the Fatuha police station area in rural Patna on March 19. 

SP (rural) Kantesh Kumar Mishra on Saturday said the arrested woman lawyer was identified as Pratima Kumari (41). “Her male colleague is Sunil Kumar Goswami (48). He is also a lawyer. They practice at 

Patna City

 sub-divisional court. The two have an affair for a long time,” he said.

Mishra said two contract killers – Vimlesh Kumar alias Chotan (25) and Nikhil Kumar Pandey – were also arrested.

Amrendra was travelling on a bike from his residence at Jakariapur in Ramkrishna Nagar to Daniyawan for paying Rs 4 lakh to a person from whom he had purchased a land worth around Rs 50 lakh.

Pratima, who has a 17-year-old daughter, had lodged an FIR against unknown criminals in connection with her husband’s killing. The SP said Pramita had fixed the murder deal at Rs 4 lakh and paid 50,000 in advance to the two killers.

Fatuha SDPO Rajesh Kumar Manjhi said Sunil is also married and has a 23-year-old daughter.

Five cellphones and a bike used by the shooters in the crime were also seized.
