Malda: The boyfriend of RG Kar junior doctor Anindita Soren, who allegedly committed suicide, was arrested and taken into police custody for seven days on Sunday.
Police had detained him on Saturday evening for interrogation.
Soren had died on Friday in Malda. She apparently consumed poison to die, but her mother, Kalpana Tudu, lodged a complaint with the police accusing her boyfriend, Ujjwal Soren, a resident of Maheshtala and a student of Malda Medical College. Anindita (24) was a resident of Balurghat. Anindita's family knew of her affair. Kalpana claimed that the duo even married in a temple in Odisha. Tudu claimed that her daughter recently became pregnant and was advised to get married socially.
Anindita agreed to that, but Ujjwal refused.
Instead, she was forced to abort her child. Since then, the relationship between them worsened. Anindita came to Malda a few days ago to meet Ujjwal.
