Guwahati Kidnapping Case Solved in 24 Hours: Four Accused Nabbed

In a major breakthrough, Guwahati Police have solved the Bharalu kidnapping case within 24 hours, arresting four individuals involved in the abduction and robbery of a local vegetable vendor.

The incident occurred early on June 10, when Munindra Das, a vegetable seller from Kahilipara, was kidnapped by a group of five men while he was on his way to the Machkhowa vegetable market. He was intercepted at B.R. Phukan Road, forcibly taken into a Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and robbed of Rs. 1,500 in cash. The culprits later dropped him near A.T. Road, Kamakhya Gate.

The case was registered at Bharalumukh Police Station under Case No. 96/2025, with charges filed under Sections 310(2)/140(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for kidnapping and dacoity.
