Guwahati: Today, students of B Borooah College staged a peaceful protest outside the institution in Guwahati, demanding a thorough investigation into the death of Himashree Boro, whose body was recovered beside a railway track in Andhra Pradesh days after she went missing during her journey to Assam.

Her family last spoke to her at around 1.30 pm on 6^th October , after which her phone was switched off. Her body was later recovered at Tekkalipuram in Srikakulam district.

CCTV footage has since emerged showing Himashree on a railway platform before boarding the train.
