HOWRAH: A 36-year-old woman, who was seven months pregnant, bled to death even before she could be admitted to a hospital after her drunken husband allegedly beat her up mercilessly. Kakoli Ghosh was declared dead on arrival after she was taken to Howrah General Hospital on Sunday morning. Police have arrested her husband Joy Ghosh.
According to the complaint filed by Kakoli's family, Joy had returned home drunk on Saturday night. After a heated argument, Joy allegedly kicked his wife and thrashed her severely. Kakoli started bleeding and delivered a still-born baby there itself. Instead of rushing her to the hospital, Joy put the dead baby in a sack and hid it under the bed.
On Sunday morning, Joy went to his in-laws' house and informed them about Kakoli's condition. However, he refused to take her to the hospital.
"My sister bled through the night and we were told about it only in the morning. We rushed her to the hospital immediately but it was too late by then," said Kakoli's brother Raju Banerjee.
"We have started investigating the case," said Howrah police ACP Soumik Sengupta. The couple got married about 15 years ago and has two sons. Joy had quit driving auto and was allegedly into gambling.Link: Man beats pregnant wife to death
