A woman Congress worker who had attended Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's event in Jorhat on Wednesday has paid with her life for doing so, it is learnt.
According to reports, Congress ward member Bonti has been burnt to death by her husband on Friday following an argument they had over, what police have said, some "misunderstanding".
The husband also tried to set ablaze himself and has been rushed to the nearest hospital with serious burn injuries.
According to initial reports, the couple had a heated argument over the news report that she had allegedly kissed Rahul at the event where Rahul addressed women Congress workers after which the husband set her afire.
However, the Assam Director General of Police (DGP) has said the Congress woman worker burnt by husband did not kiss Rahul, but was among the women Rahul met at the Jorhat event.
But the husband misunderstood and started arguing with her over the alleged kissing incident. He is burnt badly and is in hospital.
Police said the woman and her husband were not on good terms and when she arrived late, they had a fight which ended in the husband setting the woman on fire.
WHAT HAPPENED IN ASSAM?
The Congress vice-president Rahul is criss-crossing the country to revive his party's fortunes ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Media reports had said he was welcomed with kisses on his cheek and on his head at Jorhat in Assam on Wednesday. The event was played up on TV channels.
