Police in Guwahati have launched an investigation into the death of a 22-year-old woman whose body was discovered at a local homestay. Authorities have taken a male friend of the victim into custody as part of their ongoing inquiry into the circumstances surrounding her passing.
According to reports, the victim’s family claims she contacted her mother shortly before her death, expressing fear and stating, "They will kill me." This account has become a central point of the family's narrative regarding the events leading up to the discovery of her body.
The incident has sparked public unrest in the area. Protesters gathered to block a local road, with some participants characterizing the incident through the lens of "love jihad" allegations. This term is often used in Indian political discourse to describe interfaith relationships, though police have not yet released official findings regarding a motive or the specific nature of the relationship between the victim and the arrested individual. The investigation remains active as officials work to determine the cause of death and verify the timeline of events provided by the victim's family.
