Guwahati student death investigation
Overview
Police in Guwahati have arrested 26-year-old Ashiq Ali in connection with the death of Nimisha Thakuria, a 22-year-old sociology student at Gauhati University. Investigators have filed criminal charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including murder, gang rape, wrongful confinement, and causing grievous hurt.
Thakuria was found unconscious near the Garal PHC in the early hours of a Friday and later died at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. While Ali has claimed the victim committed suicide by hanging herself, authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding injury marks found on her body. Thakuria’s family reported receiving a distress call from her at approximately 2 a.m. in which she allegedly stated, “Maa, they are beating me. They are kicking me in my chest. I cannot breathe.”
In a recent development, authorities arrested a homestay worker, Mintu Ali, who allegedly supplied alcohol to the pair on the night of the incident and assisted in bringing Thakuria to the premises. The investigation has led to the sealing of the homestay in the Dharapur area where the pair had stayed, as officials found the establishment failed to collect necessary identification documents or guest records. The investigation remains ongoing as officials await the results of a post-mortem examination to provide definitive evidence regarding the cause of death.
