GUWAHATI: In a swift and successful operation, an East Guwahati Police Department team rescued two girls who had been reported missing on January 24, 2025. The duo were found loitering on GS Road just a day after going missing.

Two individuals, identified as 20-year-old Akash Nayak of Hyderabad, Santosh Das aka Rahul Das, aged 22 and hailing from Jalukbari, were detained at the Jalukbari Police Station. Legal action has been initiated against both the accused.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the body of a 22-year-old woman had been found in a river in Assam’s Dibrugarh district on January 13, four days after she had gone missing. Police said that the body had been sent for post-mortem the same day, and further investigation was underway. One person had been detained in this connection, police said.

There had been protests by locals, including the family members of the victim, in front of Dibrugarh’s Lahowal Police Station demanding the arrest of the accused. According to the victim’s family members, she had gone missing on January 9, and her body had been found floating in a river on January 13.

The family members had said that the woman had gone to meet her friend in Lahowal on December 9 and never returned. Four days later, her body had been found. “There were no clothes on the body. The injury marks and the condition of the body indicated that she had been raped and murdered. We want a proper investigation of the case and her friend to be arrested as soon as possible,” the protesting family members had said.
