Speaking to Nagaland News Network, the deceased woman’s husband said his wife had been experiencing mental health issues for some time and had previously left home on multiple occasions. He further stated that he had filed twice for missing person reports at the Women Police Station in the past following her disappearance.
Police said the investigation is ongoing. However, based on the evidence collected so far, authorities have found no indication of third-party involvement and have treated the case as an apparent murder-suicide.
