“She was a widow and mother of four children. On Monday night, the woman was going to meet her ailing son admitted at the Central Hospital, Doomdooma. On her way to the hospital, some miscreants taking advantage of the darkness gang-raped the woman and later killed her and dumped her body in the tea estate,” a police source said.

However, after the recovery of the body, the All Assam Tea Tribe Students’ Union held protest against the police for failing to provide security to the people.
