Anonymous
Gauhati University Sociology student Nimisha Thakuria was found dead at Rudra’s Kitchen homestay in Guwahati’s Azara area after leaving home with a male acquaintance. Her family said she called her mother and reported that the friend had physically assaulted her; that allegation and its connection to her death have not been established. Police detained a man identified in reports as her boyfriend, who reportedly claimed she died by suicide, but investigators said they were examining all circumstances rather than accepting that account. Her body was sent for a post-mortem examination, and the cause and manner of death remain under investigation.
