Nurse murdered by advocate: Police

The 45-year-old LNJP Hospital nurse who was found dead at her staff quarter here last week was allegedly murdered by an advocate with whom her relationship had gone sour after the latter married another woman.

During the course of investigation, call records of Nirmala Devi, who was a divorcee, revealed that a number was frequently in touch with her.

‘On further investigation, it was found that the mobile number was being used by one Vishvabandhu, an advocate by profession. Locals also informed that he used to regularly visit the deceased at her government quarter and even stayed there occasionally,’ said Additional Commissioner of Police (Central) Alok Kumar.

On thorough questioning, Vishvabandhu disclosed his association with the deceased. On 17 September, Vishwabandhu called Nirmala Devi at 1:37 pm and told her that he would be coming to see her at her apartment.

‘In the night, he reached her apartment and as part of his plan, when she went to the washroom, he caught her from behind and forced her head into a plastic tub filled with water till the time he thought that she had died.

‘Thereafter, he poured bucket-full of water over her to ensure that she dies in water,’ added Kumar.
