Bijay Sarania, son of Jagat Sarania, a resident of Dighilipar village under Tamulpur subdivision in Baksa district, moved to Tamil Nadu in June 2020 with few other youths from Tamulpur to work in a company. He started working in Sipcot Industry located at Ballurgaon in Bengaluru district of Tamil Nadu along with five other youths. But on April 13, Bijay Sarania was allegedly involved in conflict with his fellow teammates, Prashanta Deka and Nipu Sarania of Tamulpur, for Rs 300. After a war of words for a few minutes, all of them left the place. Prashant and Nipu went for a walk. On the other hand, Bijay slept in his room.
Suddenly, Prashanta and Nipu allegedly entered the room and attacked Bijay with sharp weapons while he was sleeping. Bijay was seriously injured in the attack. A youth who was near Bijay at that time witnessed the incident and informed the contractor under whom Bijay worked.
