Assam: Bharalu kidnapping case cracked within 24 hours, four accused nabbed by Guwahati police

The Guwahati Police successfully cracked the Bharalu kidnapping and robbery case within 24 hours, arresting four individuals involved in the abduction of a local vegetable vendor from Kahilipara.

The incident took place in the early hours of June 10 when Munindra Das, a vegetable vendor en route to the Machkhowa market, was abducted by a gang of five men from B.R. Phukan Road. He was forcibly bundled into a Maruti Suzuki Baleno (Reg. No. AS-01-GE-3543) and robbed of ₹1,500 in cash. The abductors later dropped him near A.T. Road at Kamakhya Gate.

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

The police also recovered the vehicle used in the crime and identified one of the accused, Saheb Ali, as a repeat offender, previously arrested in Satgaon PS Case No. 12/25 under Section 309(2) of the BNS.
