Guwahati: Police are investigating the death of an 87-year-old woman in Digboi, Assam, after neighbors accused her family of years of abuse. The woman died at her home near the Hindu Milan Mandir on Friday. Neighbors claim her son, Kanu Ranjan Dey, assaulted her shortly before she passed away.
The local community reported seeing visible injury marks on the victim’s face. They allege the woman suffered through years of intimidation, neglect, and physical beatings. Residents are now demanding a full investigation and legal action against those responsible.
