A woman was murdered today at Howrah station. An acquaintance stabbed her in the abdomen. During police interrogation, the accused revealed that he had given the woman a lot of money to marry him. The deceased was identified as Rivu Biswas, a resident of Gaighata, North 24-Parganas. Her husband Pintu Biswas and Rivu believed they were working together at a hotel in Mumbai. Mungesh Yadav, the assailant, a resident of Maharashtra, claimed to have developed a romantic relationship with Rivu. He had promised to marry her and had given her nearly Rs 1 lakh. However, when Rivu suddenly refused to marry him, Mungesh stabbed her inside Howrah station in a fit of rage. Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, Pintu, Rivu, and Mungesh were drinking tea near the parcel department of platform 23. Suddenly, Mungesh asked Pintu to buy medicine for Rivu.
