Assam horror: Youth beaten to death in brutal moral policing incident, AKRSU warns of protest

A disturbing case of moral policing has rocked Rowta in Udalguri district, where 24-year-old Lalmohan Roy was mercilessly beaten to death by an enraged mob on suspicion of theft. 

The horrifying incident took place on the night of March 13 in Kathalbari village, where Roy was tied up and assaulted by three individuals accused of taking justice into their own hands.

According to reports, a man named Lalmohan Roy (24) was brutally assaulted on the night of March 13 at around 11 PM in Kathalbari village on suspicion of stealing betel nuts.

Three individuals from the village have been accused in connection with this incident. Despite being rushed to multiple hospitals, Roy succumbed to his injuries on March 20 at GMCH. 

Shockingly, even after 24 hours of his death, the police have yet to arrest the accused—Girija Newar, Khem Newar alias Bitu Newar, and Suraj Magar—sparking outrage from the All Assam Koch Rajbongshi Students' Union (AKRSU).

AKRSU Central President Atul Barman has issued a stern ultimatum, warning that if the accused are not arrested within 24 hours, the organization will refuse to accept Roy’s body and will launch a highway blockade protest. 

The victim’s family has already filed an FIR, demanding immediate justice. As tensions rise, pressure mounts on the police to take swift action against the perpetrators of this gruesome act.
