Husband of Jharkhand Advocate Anushka Chakraborty Surrenders in Court Following Suspicious Death
Kushagra Rudra Rana has surrendered in court as police investigate the suspicious death of his wife, advocate Anushka Chakraborty, in Hazaribagh.
Hazaribagh, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : In a significant development in the suspicious death of Jharkhand High Court advocate Anushka Chakraborty, her husband, Kushagra Rudra Rana, surrendered to the court on Thursday in Hazaribagh. The police are now preparing to take him into custody for questioning.
Rupesh Kumar Singh, the police officer in charge of the area, confirmed the surrender and stated that an application for remand will be filed in court for further interrogation. Rana had been evading arrest, prompting police to deploy teams across three states, including Jharkhand, in search of him. Authorities have also initiated the process of revoking his passport and weapon licenses while freezing his bank accounts.
Anushka Chakraborty was found dead under suspicious circumstances in her apartment at Gupta Complex, Flat No. 304, on October 22. Her family has accused her husband and his relatives of harassment and murder linked to dowry demands, calling for justice following her untimely and mysterious death.
After the incident, both Rana and his family went into hiding. In response, Anushka’s relatives filed a petition in the Jharkhand High Court, which directed a Deputy Superintendent of Police to investigate the case. Just before his surrender, Rana posted a video on social media, alleging that his wife’s family was responsible for her death and making sensational claims against them.
Rana has vehemently denied the allegations against him. He asserted that Anushka’s father consistently interfered in his business and pressured him to appoint him as a director. He also claimed that her family exerted financial pressure on him, demanding money and valuables.
In his video, he mentioned Manoj Mahato, a representative of Ramgarh MLA Mamta Devi, alleging that seven lakh rupees and ten lakh rupees in cash were transferred from the company’s bank account under the guise of a supposed arrangement related to the Jharkhand Public Service Commission examination. Additionally, he claimed that there were disputes between him and Anushka regarding her closeness to another female advocate while they were living in Ranchi.
