In a major breakthrough, Assam police have finally located the body of Pranjal Moran, who is believed to have been brutally murdered by notorious coal thieves from the Tirap Colliery in Ledo earlier this year.

The development came amidst arrest of another three persons in connection to the case by the state police on Thursday night.

The arrested three persons were identified as Gopinath Gogoi, Sanjay Mura and Krishna Tasa.

On Friday, Margherita police in Assam launched a search operation based on the confessions of three people and recovered the body in Ledo.

The three defendants also revealed that they have buried the body under the rubble of the mine with salt.

Informing about the development, Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh took to his official Twitter handle saying, "Assam police has kept its promise to Smt Urvashi Moran. The mortal remains of Late Pranjal Moran have been recovered by team led by IGP Jitmal Doley. We remain committed to further lawful action."

Meanwhile, Inspector General of Tinsukia Police (IGP), Jitmol Doley briefed the victim's wife about the recovery, who had been wandering around for several months seeking justice for her late husband's alleged murder.

The body of Pranjal Moran will be handed over to the kin by police after official formalities in the evening hours.

Earlier, the Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh had ordered a probe into the alleged “disappearance” of one Pranjal Moran at a coal mining site in Ledo, since January 12 this year.

The DGP has directed the IGP, Tinsukia, Jitmol Doley to oversee the investigation and submit a report within next 15 days.
