In a significant development, Ramen Modahi, the kingpin involved in the Guwahati land-grabbing scam, was shot while he tried to flee. The incident happened last night in Guwahati. Police shot him in his right leg.

Modahi, accused for his involvement in the land-grabbing racket in Lalung Gaon, Lakhra, is currently admitted to GMCH under police guard.
