According to police, the incident took place on Monday night when the accused BLO, in a drunken state, attacked his wife Ambalica Sarkar with a sharp weapon after coming back home.
According to police, the BLO, who had an extramarital relationship with the victim's wife, called the man to a deserted place on the pretext of discussing an issue related to SIR and murdered him.
The remarks came a day after the ECI published the final voters' list for poll-bound Assam with over 2.43 lakh voters deleted from the electoral rolls, a decrease by 0.97 per cent from the draft list.
