In a tragic turn of events, one of the three suspects involved in the gang-rape of a 14-year-old girl in Dhing, Assam's Nagaon district, has lost his life. The accused, Taffazul Islam, reportedly took his own life by jumping into a nearby pond while in police custody on Saturday morning. The police had taken him to the scene of the crime for reconstruction purposes after his arrest the previous day.
The young victim was allegedly attacked and raped by the three individuals while she was on her way home from a tuition center on Thursday night. According to the authorities, the assault took place while the victim was riding her bicycle. Her distress was noticed by passers-by near a pond in the area, and they quickly took her to a nearby hospital.
After the heinous crime, the accused left the girl at the scene and fled. She remained unconscious for over an hour before being rescued by locals. Thankfully, the victim's condition is now stable, and she is receiving medical treatment at the hospital.
The police immediately sprang into action, arresting two suspects on suspicion of being involved in the crime. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has expressed his outrage and promised to take strict action against those responsible for this heinous act. He has also instructed the Director General of Police to personally investigate the matter.
Taking to social media, the Chief Minister wrote, "The horrific incident at Dhing, involving a minor, is a crime against humanity and has deeply affected us all. We will not rest until the perpetrators are brought to justice. I have directed the DGP of Assam Police to visit the site and ensure swift action against these monsters."
The local community has also been deeply affected by this tragedy, with anger and outrage erupting among the people. As a mark of protest, they kept their shops and businesses closed for the day in the Dhing area. Even the All Assam Students Union has condemned the government for their failure to prevent such incidents.
