The woman, identified as Tikina Dash of Jyoti Nagar in Mandiapalli, had married Sukant Das a few years back and they have two sons. Due to frequent disputes between the couple, Sukant was staying with his parents in a rented house, while Tikina was staying in her husband’s house.

On Friday evening, Tkina went to Gopalpur police station and requested the police to call her husband. Later, she went to Trinath temple in front of the police station and sat there. After some time, she brought out a pouch of pesticide and consumed it.
The police admitted Tikina in MKCG Medical College and Hospital at Berhampur. She succumbed while undergoing treatment late Friday night.
After Tikina’s father Bhaskar Das and mother Saibani Das filed a complaint against Sukant, police arrested him. Later, they forwarded him to court.
On the other hand, some people have filed a complaint at Bhanja Vihar outpost alleging that Tikina had taken money on loan from them but did not return the amount.
