Elderly Couple Attacked by Adopted Son in Nagaon’s Morikolong

The victims, identified as Haren Bora and Dipti Bora, were found lying unconscious inside their home with severe injuries. Both have been admitted to a private hospital in critical condition.

According to reports, the accused, Prabhat Hazarika, allegedly entered the house through the back door and demanded money from his foster parents.
