Later, when the family found that the girl was missing the next day, they immediately informed the police about the situation.
A search operation was then launched by the police, during which they found her body on Wednesday night in a septic tank of a hostel located near the residence of the accused Anan Tanti and sent the body for post-mortem.
The incident riled up the people in the area and an angry mob broke into the house of the accused in the night itself. They then demanded of the police to immediately arrest him.
The police took him into custody and he was being taken to the Margherita police station when he made an attempt to flee. Police personnel then allegedly opened fire at Tanti, injuring the accused.
He was first taken to the Margherita FRU. However, the doctors referred him to Tinsukia civil hospital for better treatment and he is in a stable condition now, a police official said.
