The incident reportedly occurred at an apartment in Block A of Purnima Mansion in Guwahati's Chachal area at around 7:30 pm. The accused allegedly hit her mother with a mortar pastle causing her death. The family, comprising three members—the accused, her mother, and her father, Deep Chand Prasad, a tennis coach—lived together in the flat.
