The murder of the mother-son duo by the woman came to light on Sunday (February 19), seven months after the murder took place.
The incident took place at Noonmati locality in Guwahati city of Assam.
The murders are believed to have been the result of an extra-marital relationship that the accused woman had with another man.
Earlier, the Assam police had reportedly confessed to committing the crime.
However, Bandana Kalita – the prime accused in the Guwahati double murder case in Assam has refuted the allegations levelled against her.
Speaking to the media, Bandana Kalita has claimed that she did not commit the alleged murders of her husband and mother-in-law.
Bandana, in fact, has claimed that she is being framed in the double murder case, which has rocked the entire state of Assam.
“I am being framed,” said Bandana Kalita while speaking to a local news channel in Assam on Tuesday (February 21) morning.
