Kukil Sakiya ( Guwahati): 08 NOV-2024
A man named Mriganka Saikia, accused of strangling his 7-year-old son in Gohpur, Assam, was found dead early Friday morning. Saikia’s body was discovered hanging from the roof of a house owned by Nanda Biswas in Borigaon, just a day after allegedly committing the crime.
The tragic incident took place on Thursday evening around 7 pm in Solengi Guri village, within the Gohpur subdivision. Saikia reportedly smothered his son with a blanket while the child was sleeping, seizing the opportunity during his wife’s absence.
The motive for this act remains unclear. After the incident, Saikia fled the scene on a scooter, prompting the police to initiate a manhunt. Their search ended with the discovery of his body on Friday morning, and authorities suspect Saikia died by suicide.
