Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma on Friday ordered the dismissal of three senior police officials accused of negligence in the death of a 13-year-old girl in Darang district.
On June 11, the girl was found hanging in the house of an armed Border Force jawan named Krishna Kamal Barua in Dhula village of Darrang.
Sarma visited the girl’s family in Praja Pathar village. He told reporters that he was not happy with the way the police had handled the case.
The chief minister said, “A newspaper report claimed that the police did not want to register [the First Information Report],” . “The police recorded it as a suicide and no further investigation was conducted.”
Due to this Sarma ordered the dismissal of Superintendent of Police Rajmohan Roy, Additional Superintendent of Police Rupam Phukan and officer-in-charge of Dhula police station, the report said.
