Investigation Underway in Assam

DHUBRI — Local authorities in Assam's Dhubri district have launched a comprehensive investigation following the mysterious death of a 19-year-old youth from West Bengal. The victim, identified as Anuj Darjee, hailed from the Singla area of Darjeeling.

According to local police, the young man's body was discovered resting on the corrugated tin shed roof of a building situated near Panchmore along GTB Road. Law enforcement and a specialized forensic team were quickly dispatched to the scene to collect evidence and determine the sequence of events leading up to the tragedy.

Migrant Workers' Living Quarters

Investigators revealed that Darjee was part of a group of nine young men and women who had recently traveled from Darjeeling to Dhubri in search of employment. The group had found local jobs working at various establishments, including regional momo shops and beauty parlours.

They shared rented accommodations within the same multi-story building where Darjee's body was ultimately recovered.

Unanswered Questions

Preliminary inquiries and statements from fellow occupants have added complex layers to the ongoing probe. Witnesses reported that Darjee had left the shared living quarters late at night, locking the door from the outside—a detail that investigators are closely analyzing.

While forensic experts have completed their initial sweep of the crime scene, local police officials stated that the exact cause and circumstances surrounding the death remain entirely unknown. An autopsy has been ordered to ascertain the precise cause of death as the investigation continues.
