Chanda said, “At about 4 pm on Sunday, constable T.O. Singh of the RPF Post in Guwahati while performing duty at the CCTV Control Room of Guwahati railway station, noticed a man entering the station suspiciously with a minor girl.”

“He immediately informed the matter to the on-duty constable, L. Ramananda Singh, who was performing duty at the circulating area.”

Acting swiftly, constable L. Ramananda Singh along with the on-duty chief ticket inspector, Guwahati, detected them and found the minor girl with the person sitting in the concourse area of the station hiding their presence.

“During interrogation, their versions were found contradictory,” the railway official said in a statement.

“The minor girl stated that she had fled from her home to proceed to Chennai on being insisted by Sunil Thakur, who pretended to be Rajib Gogoi before her and she had never physically met him earlier,” Chanda said.

The inspector of RPF Guwahati informed the matter to the parents of the rescued girl over the phone and came to know that their daughter had been missing since September 26, 2020.
