I thank everyone including the government, the police and locals for whom I could recover my deceased husband’s body. However, I appeal the police to nab another person in connection to the coal syndicate, named B Ganesh. Only then I can feel that justice has been delivered.”

The police had arrested three persons identified as Gopinath Gogoi, Sanjay Mura and Krishna Tasa in connection to the case. The three defendants had revealed that they have buried the body under the rubble of the mine with salt.

Meanwhile, Inspector General of Tinsukia Police (IGP), Jitmol Doley briefed the victim's wife about the recovery, who had been wandering around for several months seeking justice for her late husband's alleged murder.
