In a significant update to the Dhakuakhana murder case in Assam, the missing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) contractor Sunil Gogoi is alive according to top cop Sanjukta Parashar.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) of CID Assam, Parashar, who is part of the investigations reassured Pushpa Gogoi, the grieving wife of Sunil Gogoi on Tuesday that her husband, who had been missing since the matter first broke out in June this year, is alive.

Sunil Gogoi's wife said, "Today IGP Sanjukta Parashar came to our house as part of the investigation procedure. She asked me why was I dressed in a widow's attire even after knowing that the recovered body was Jahangir's and not my husband's. She told me that Sunil Gogoi was alive and the police would find him soon. If that is true, I want my husband back. The police may take their own time to find him, but we just want him back."

The Lakhimpur police are intensifying efforts to apprehend Sunil Gogoi, the prime suspect in the shocking Dhakuakhana murder case involving Jahangir Hussain. Following the declaration of Gogoi as absconding, police have announced a reward for any information leading to his capture.

Gogoi, alleged to be directly involved in the murder, has prompted a widespread search operation across the region. Lakhimpur police have assured confidentiality to individuals assisting in his whereabouts.
