The deceased, identified as Mithun Das, was found with his legs and hands tied, sources said, adding that he was a resident of Nagarbera of Kamrup district.

Meanwhile, a case of murder was registered by his family members at Basistha police station.

He used to work as a helper at a nearby building for the past seven years, his family said.
