The incident occurred late Thursday night at their home in Gokulnagar area.
The victim, identified as Meherun Akter Borsha (23), had married her husband, Joni Mia, seven months ago in a family-arranged ceremony, according to her father, Omar Ali.
Omar Ali said that after their marriage, Joni Mia became addicted to drugs, which frequently led to quarrels between the couple. During a heated argument on Thursday night, he allegedly strangled his wife.
Borsha was taken to Enam Medical College and Hospital in Savar, where doctors declared her dead-on arrival, stating she had passed away earlier.
Savar Model Police recovered the body from the hospital and sent it to the morgue, reports UNB.
Ashulia Police Station Officer-in-Charge Abdul Hannan confirmed that a case has been filed and said the suspect would be arrested soon and brought to justice.
