Guwahati, 7th August: Under the unwavering directives of Assam Director General of Police GP Singh, the Dhubri police have made significant strides in their investigation of the Gauripur assault case, successfully apprehending seven key accused involved in the heinous incident in the district.
On Monday morning, another significant breakthrough was achieved as one more accused, identified as Abdul Gani, was arrested from the Lalkura locality adjacent to Gauripur. The arrest came as a result of diligent efforts by a team from the Balajan police outpost under the leadership of in-charge Purushottam Singh.
The incident unfolded last Friday when the sub-divisional officer (SDO) of Dhubri’s Gauripur Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) and his officials were subjected to a brutal assault by suspected power (electric) thieves. The injured APDCL official, Monjurul Haque, and his team had initiated an operation at Balajan against individuals involved in power theft in the area.
In the course of the investigation, the police have been meticulously pursuing the leads to apprehend those responsible for the assault, and the recent arrest of Abdul Gani marks yet another milestone in their pursuit of justice.
The DGP has emphasized the importance of swift and thorough investigation, underscoring the commitment of the Assam Police to bring the culprits to justice and ensure the safety and security of citizens in the state.
