In an exercise of his authority under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and Assam Police Act, 2007, DGP GP Singh issued a directive on Thursday, entrusting the case to the CID for a prompt and comprehensive investigation.
The identity of the victim in question, Jal Jeevan Mission labourer Jahangir Hussain from the Dhubri district, was determined through DNA testing.
The body was found approximately 200 meters from the home of Sunil Gogoi, a BJP worker who is considered the main suspect and has been on the run since June 1st.
The body was initially believed to be that of Sunil, leading to the registration of a case following a complaint filed by Sunil’s wife, Puspa, asserting the body belonged to her husband. Doubts emerged during the police investigation when it was discovered that Jahangir, who had been residing at Sunil’s residence since May 29, had been missing since May 30.
The DNA analysis confirmed that the genetic material found in the body sample was a match with that of Jahangir’s brother, Jahidul.
Despite successfully identifying the body, the police were unable to locate the missing head.
