According to the footage retrieved by Guwahati police officials, two men were seen drunk walking towards Bipul Complex and one of the men was holding a wooden bat. Moments later, the man holding the wooden bat was seen pushing the other man into the entrance of the complex. The body of watchguard Tarun Deka was recovered from that same lane during the early hours of Saturday.
