DHUBRI: The Gauripur police have arrested a suspect in the murder of Rahul Hussain, alias Ali, a class 9 student hailing from Assam's Dhubri. The 15-year-old was found dead on December 26, 2024, near National Highway 17 in Targhat, which resulted in outrage and calls for justice from his family and community.

When Rahul's body was found, his family registered a First Information Report (FIR) at the Gauripur police station reporting that their son had been killed by a group of miscreants who then left his body behind. Though they continued to make efforts to seek justice, the family alleged delay and inaction on the part of local authorities.

Following months of inquiry, Gautam Ghosh, the son of deceased Anil Ghosh, a resident of Ward No-6 (new) in Gauripur, was arrested by the police. Ghosh was produced in the district court on March 13. Still, the victim's family is skeptical, claiming that a number of other culprits involved in the crime are still on the loose.

Serious charges of corruption and negligence have been leveled against the local police, and there are concerns regarding the integrity of the investigation. The public is now keenly observing the situation, waiting for further action from law enforcement to ensure that everyone involved in Rahul Hussain's murder is brought to justice.
