Gauhati HC grants bail to Arup Deka in Guwahati double murder case

Currently, accused Bondona Kalita and her other accomplice Dhanti Deka are serving their judicial custody.

Arup Deka, one of the associates of Bondona Kalita, the main suspect in the sensational Guwahati double murder case, has been granted bail by the Gauhati High Court. Deka was in judicial custody since March 4.

On May 14, Assam police drafted the 1,600-page charge sheet against accused Bondona Kalita and two of her accomplices, Arup Deka and Dhanti Deka, three months after the gruesome double murder.

Bandana Kalita, the prime suspect in the incident had been accused of murdering her husband and mother-in-law and dismembering the dead bodies before disposing the body parts.

In July last year, with the help of Dhanti and Arup, Bandana had allegedly murdered her mother-in-law, Sankari Dey (62), at her residence at Zoo Road Tiniali.

Later, they killed her husband, Amarjyoti Dey (32), at his flat in the city’s Narengi in August, 2022. They allegedly chopped the bodies into pieces and disposed off the parts in neighbouring Meghalaya.

In September, she filed a missing complaint about her mother-in-law and husband.

“Initially, a probe was launched into the missing complaint, but police had no clue. In February, they reworked the case and arrested Bandana after a preliminary interrogation. Based on her statements, police arrested her accomplices,” said a police officer.

Currently, accused Bondona Kalita and her other accomplice Dhanti Deka are serving their judicial custody.
