Police yesterday pressed charges against four people in housewife Supriya Ghosh murder case. Sub-Inspector Nasirul Islam of Patkelghata Police Statino in Tala upazila submitted the charge sheet to the Judicial Magistrate's Court. The accused are victim's husband Kartik Chandra Ghosh, mother in law Juthika Rani Ghosh, brother-in-law Subhash Ghosh and sister-in-law China Rani Ghosh of village Rajendrapur of the upazila. The investigation officer (IO) dropped the names of two other accused-Joydev Ghosh and his wife Sundari Rani Ghosh of the village-from the charge sheet as they were not found involved in the murder. Kartik Chandra Ghosh married Supriya, 25, daughter of Gosai Chandra Ghosh of Dolkhola in Khulna, in 2005. Soon after the marriage, he demanded dowry from Supriya's parents who failed to meet the demand. On the night of May 5 in 2005, Kartik and her family members locked in an altercation with Supriya on dowry issue and at one stage, they strangled her. Supriya's mother Namita Rani Ghosh filed a case with Patkelghata Police Station against Kartik and five others on May 6.
