According to police officials, the four assailants arrived on two motorcycles and attacked Mihir Dalmia with a cricket bat just 50 meters away from his house, near his shop, Jahnvi Textiles. Mihir, along with his associate Munin, was returning home after closing the shop when the assault took place.
As a result of the attack, Mihir Dalmia suffered a broken skull and other traumatic injuries. He is currently undergoing treatment at JMCH (Jorhat Medical College and Hospital).
The assailants managed to snatch around Rs 10 lakh from the businessman. Notably, Mihir had switched off the CCTV cameras installed in front of and inside the shop after closing. Additionally, a CCTV camera installed by the administration at Nirmal Chariali was found to be out of order. Despite police checkpoints on either side of the incident site (Bhogdoi and Nirmal Chariali), the assailants successfully fled the scene.
In a separate incident, a lady’s bicycle was reported stolen from a compound near Saumarpith in the Choladhora area around noon. The owner of the bicycle, Soru Mai, works as a housemaid.
