Guwahati News Desk: A minor girl, resident of the Kahilipara area in Guwahati, reportedly committed suicide on Wednesday, under mysterious circumstances. According to reports, the deceased who was in the eleventh grade at Guwahati’s South Point School, is said to have committed suicide at about 7 PM yesterday. Meanwhile, the cause behind the death remains unknown. Binod Das, the girl’s father, is an MTO with the 4th Assam Police Task Force. In the meantime, authorities have launched an inquiry to identify the cause of death.
In a similar incident, around the month of June, a girl student from Upper Assam’s Lakhimpur district committed suicide, a day after the state government suspended board examinations due to the existing Covid-19 crisis in the state. The deceased was a resident of Korson Majkuri hamlet, which is located 7 kilometres east of Lakhimpur town and falls under the jurisdiction of the North Lakhimpur Sadar police station.
According to the girl’s mother, “She was studying diligently in order to achieve a decent grade in the Class X exam. She committed suicide at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Her father passed away a few years ago.”
In another unimaginable case in Assam, a 33-year-old male who was believed to have committed suicide was later found and arrested by the Assam Police in Nagaon District. The convict named, Jyoti Prasad Bora was serving a 20-year jail sentence for killing one of his friends, was out on parole, when he disappeared and was thought to have committed suicide, but little did the police have any idea that it was all a plan to elope. He was later arrested again.
