Currently hospitalized in Teliamura, Reang faces severe retribution from his community.
The victim, Shanti Rani Debbarma (35), allegedly prioritized alcohol over her duties, triggering conflicts with her husband.

Police recovered her partially unclothed body near their residence, indicating a tragic end to their dispute.
Both husband and wife were intoxicated when she left the house following an argument, with no effort made to locate her amidst their inebriation. Reang, upon discovering her lifeless body, covered it and revealed that she was found partially exposed. Tragically, the victim, a mother of three from previous marriages, met her untimely end in the throes of alcohol-fueled discord.
