AGARTALA: A 32-year-old tribal woman was allegedly killed in North Tripura by her in-laws on Friday night for having voted against CPM in the just concluded assembly election.

A neighbour told police the victim's father- and brother-in-law stormed into her house in Nalkata at night and assaulted her with bricks and sticks after accusing her of shifting allegiance to BJP .

When neighbours rushed to rescue her, the accused fled. The victim's husband has filed an FIR against three persons but nobody has been arrested yet.
