GUWAHATI, Jan 6: In a tragic and shocking incident, Kamal Dey, the BJP Jalukbari Mandal President, was found lifeless near his residence in Maligaon’s Shankar Nagar, Guwahati, on Monday morning, as reported in a news bulletin.
His body, discovered by a passerby during a morning walk, bore severe head injuries.
Dey was rushed to Swagat Super Speciality Surgical Institute, but doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, the body has been sent to Gauhati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) for a post-mortem examination.
