Guwahati, 16th October: The Guwahati Police on October 16 announced the resolution of the Anjan Nath murder case, with five suspects in custody, including Sourabh Goenka, Geetashree Sinha’s lover, who is suspected to have played a central role in the crime. The investigation has unveiled a chilling tale of a premeditated plan to eliminate Anjan Nath, who was in a relationship with Geetashree.
In a press conference led by Guwahati Police Commissioner Diganta Borah, the details of the murder mystery began to emerge. Anjan Nath and Geetashree Sinha were not married, and their relationship was far from harmonious, plagued by Anjan’s reported issues with alcohol. Their families were also known to be at odds.
The murder weapon, a locally made firearm from Bihar, was identified as the instrument used in the crime. Govind Kumar procured the weapon, and Geetashree’s sister was also implicated in the conspiracy. Additionally, Geetashree’s second marriage to Anjan was a significant source of tension.
Sourabh Goenka, a dry fruits businessman in the Fancy Bazar area with a monthly salary of 25,000, was revealed to be a key player in the plot. The police investigation has suggested that Geetashree’s parents, Arijit and Jharna Sinha, disapproved of her relationship with Anjan due to his financial and alcohol-related issues. They ultimately orchestrated a plan to eliminate him from their daughter’s life.
The sinister plot unfolded over the course of a month and a half. Initially, Arijit Sinha attempted to poison Anjan with contaminated pills provided by a charmer (Bej). When this attempt failed, a more heinous plan was devised. Arijit Sinha confessed to his role in the murder during police interrogations.
On the fateful night, Anjan Nath was shot dead by Sourabh Goenka, with assistance from Govinda Kumar and Arvinda Roy. This shocking revelation came to light just moments before the police arrested the accused. Geetashree Sinha, along with her parents, Arijit Sinha and Jharna Sinha, were taken into custody.
The police have seized the murder weapon, and further evidence will be presented in court as the case unfolds. Guwahati police have also issued a warning that if anyone else is found to have played a role in this crime, they will be apprehended.
