CM Conrad in his letter reported that Niksamseng Ch Marak was apprehended by Assam police on July 2.
According to family members, he was discovered deceased two days later (July 4, 2024) at the rehabilitation facility, exhibiting extensive injury marks such as a deep knife laceration on the left side of his face, burns, and severe wounds on the chin, hips, and legs.
Conrad further stated that the family is accusing the “New Life Foundation Centre, Nayapara, Goalpara” rehab facility of falsely claiming that it was a suicide.
He also emphasized that the injuries clearly show that Niksamseng had been subjected to severe torture, physical assaults, and stabbing while inside the facility.
“I request you to immediately investigate the incident, as desired by the family, to ensure justice. The family has filed an FIR regarding the incident, and your prompt intervention in constituting an inquiry will be greatly appreciated,” Conrad stated in the letter.
