GUWAHATI: In the ongoing investigation into the murder of a young individual in Guwahati, significant developments have unfolded. The six individuals implicated in the case were presented before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court on a recent Saturday.
Sources report that the police custody of three accused, Sourabh Goenka, Arvinda Roy, and Govinda Kumar, has been extended by five days. Simultaneously, the remaining three suspects, Gitashri Sinha, her sister Neha Sinha, and their mother Jharna Sinha, have been remanded to judicial custody.
In a related development, Gitashri Sinha's father, Ajit Sinha, was also remanded to judicial custody on October 16. This action was taken in connection with the shocking murder of Anjan Nath.
On the same date, the Guwahati Police singled out Sourabh Goenka as the primary accused in the youth's murder in the city's Koinadhora area.
The Commissioner of Police (CP) in Guwahati, Diganta Barah, addressed the media regarding the matter. He shared, "The incident occurred on October 12. In the course of our investigation, we detained six individuals and subjected them to interrogation, which led to a clear understanding of the entire incident. Sourabh Goenka is the main accused in the killing of Anjan Nath."
The victim, Anjan Nath, was fatally shot at point-blank range by unidentified assailants while he was riding a two-wheeler in Guwahati's Koinadhora locality. He was swiftly transported to Metro Hospital at Khanapara with gunshot wounds to his chest, but, tragically, he was declared dead upon arrival.
Subsequently, it came to light that he had been in a romantic relationship with Gitashri Sinha, who had been married twice before and was now divorced. Gitashri resided in Udaynagar, near the Koinadhora area of Guwahati, and was also a mother from her previous marriages.
After her divorce, she entered into a four-year-long relationship with Anjan Nath. However, her family members did not approve of their relationship. Although they had been together for an extended period, they had not formalized their relationship through marriage.
