Guwahati: The post-mortem examination of Ghanakanta Gogoi, the prime accused in the 26TH October Hotel Bilas Inn Bora Service, shooting in Guwahati, will be conducted at Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH) in Dibrugarh, instead of Sivasagar Civil Hospital.

Barpeta MLA Deepak Kumar Das also reacted to the development, saying, “The burden on this earth has been reduced by one today.”
