In a horrific incident that has sent shockwaves across Assam, a Class 10 girl was raped by three young men aged 25-26 years after abducting her while she was on way back home from tuition. The incident took place in Nagaon’s Dhing in Assam. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has promised tough action against those involved in the heinous crime.

CM Sarma has asked DGP GP Singh to rush to the location. Meanwhile, one accused has been arrested while two others are absconding.

Reportedly, three unidentified individuals were seen by witnesses dumping the girl by the roadside. Upon discovering her condition, locals rushed to her aid and took her to the hospital, where she is currently undergoing treatment. Medical officials have confirmed that her condition remains critical.

The incident has triggered widespread outrage. Massive protests have erupted in Dhing as locals are demanding justice for the victim and strict action against those responsible. Demonstrators have taken to the streets, calling for swift law enforcement action.

Speaking to media, one of the residents of the area said, “We strongly condemn the incident. We want exemplary punishment for the culprit as soon as possible.”

Speaking to media, AASU President Utpal Sarma said, “We strongly condemn the incident. No civil society can accept a crime like this. It has brought shame to the entire society of Assam. We urge the government to give exemplary punishment to the culprits so that no one dares to commit such heinous crimes again.”

Reports have come in of an attempted rape of a minor girl in Assam’s Behali. The girl was abducted from her home. However, the victim managed to raise an alarm after which the miscreants fled from the spot. Five persons have been picked up in connection with the incident, out of which 3 have been sent to judicial custody.

Another similar case has been reported from Assam’s Lakhimpur district where miscreants tried to rape a minor. Prime accused Matab Ali is still absconding. The incident happened inside a place of religious importance. Reports of another 13-year-old girl being sexually assaulted have also emerged. However, further details into both the incidents are still awaited.

These heinous incident from Dhing come days after the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata which shook the entire nation.
