A 13-year-old girl was sexually assaulted and killed in the Darrang district. The victim was found dead at her employer’s house in June, where she worked as a domestic worker.
Regarding the case, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma said that a magistrate was arrested for compromising his duties. Apart from the prime accused, an Armed Border Force (SSB) personnel, several other government employees, the then Superintendent of Police, an Additional SP, the officer-in-charge of the concerned police station and three doctors have already been arrested in the case.
“The magistrate was arrested today. The CID has already arrested the SP, Additional SP (District), Dhula police station OC and three doctors who conducted the first postmortem examination,” Sarma said.
So far, according to reports, high-level investigations have been conducted.
Additional DGP (CID) A Y V Krishna said that the arrested government officials did not follow the rules and gave false reports to pass off the case as a case of suicide.
