Assam woman shot dead by miscreants in Diphu

A woman was tragically murdered during the night in Diphu, according to Tuliram Ronghang, the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council. 

The incident, reported to the media, unfolded when the woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, heard a disturbance outside her residence around 12:30 AM. 

Sensing trouble, she went to investigate, only to confront two men lurking by the side wall. One was outside, while the other had breached the premises.

A family member, narrating the harrowing ordeal, recounted that before the victim could raise an alarm to alert her family, one of the assailants fired a fatal shot, mortally wounding her. 

The attackers swiftly fled the scene, leaving behind a shocked and grieving family.

Adding a layer of complexity to the tragedy, it was revealed that the victim had been previously married to a former militant member but had since divorced. 

The motive behind the brutal act remains unclear.

CEM Ronghang, upon learning of the gruesome crime, vehemently denounced the senseless violence and urged authorities to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice. 

He called for nothing short of exemplary punishment for those responsible, emphasizing the need for a robust response to such heinous acts.
