The Enigma of Ranjit Bordoloi's Death: Drowning or Deeper Conspiracy?

The peaceful city of Guwahati has been gripped by a chilling mystery as the death of Ranjit Bordoloi, father-in-law to Assam’s beloved music icon Zubeen Garg, takes a dramatically dark turn. What was initially recorded as a tragic drowning on his death certificate has now spiraled into a high-stakes murder investigation, leaving a community stunned and a family desperate for answers.

Ranjit Bordoloi, a respected retired government official, was tragically found unconscious near his residence in Kahilipara.

The initial assessment and subsequent death certificate pointed towards drowning as the cause. However, the true horror began to unfold when the post-mortem report contradicted this narrative in the most alarming way. The findings revealed significant internal injuries and a critical blood clot in his head, injuries entirely inconsistent with a simple drowning incident.

These shocking revelations immediately cast a long shadow of suspicion, prompting a swift reclassification of the case.

What was once considered a tragic accident is now being actively investigated by the Assam Police as a cold-blooded murder. The authorities have acted quickly, apprehending two individuals, Ganesh Rai and Dimbeswar Das, in connection with the alleged crime. Their arrests mark a crucial step in unraveling the full truth behind Bordoloi’s untimely demise.

The family, led by Zubeen Garg and his wife Garima Saikia Garg, are consumed by grief but firm in their resolve for justice.

They have openly voiced their strong suspicion that Bordoloi was murdered and his body subsequently disposed of in a drain to obscure the crime. Their anguish is palpable, and their demand for a thorough and transparent investigation echoes loudly across the state.

Responding to the gravity of the situation and the public outcry, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has personally assured the family and the public that no stone will be left unturned.

He affirmed that the police are treating this as a murder case and promised a comprehensive probe to bring the culprits to justice. The chief minister's direct involvement underscores the seriousness with which the state government is approaching this intricate and deeply disturbing case, as the quest for truth continues amidst a cloud of sorrow and suspicion.
