A wave of shock and anger swept through Silchar on Friday morning after the lifeless body of a six-month-old boy was discovered near the iconic Barak bridge. The grim find has sent the local community into a state of outrage, with residents demanding swift action from the authorities.
Morning Walkers Make Harrowing Discovery
The tragedy came to light when a group of morning walkers first noticed a bundle near the paved steps leading to the bridge. Initially mistaken for a pile of discarded clothes, the bundle upon closer inspection revealed the wrapped body of the infant. The walkers, stunned by the discovery, immediately alerted the police.
A team from the Badarpur police station was quickly dispatched to the location. Officers secured the area and sent the infant's body for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. A police official stated, "We are investigating all possible angles to determine whether this was a case of murder or extreme negligence, resulting in death."
Police Launch Intensive Investigation
Authorities have launched a comprehensive probe into the incident. The official confirmed that CCTV footage from the vicinity is being scrutinized and local residents are being questioned for any potential leads. While the preliminary investigation points to the possibility that the infant was thrown from the steps, some locals have voiced suspicions of strangulation.
The community's grief has rapidly transformed into fury over the brutal nature of the incident. Residents have collectively termed the act as 'brutal' and are vociferously demanding the immediate identification and arrest of the perpetrators responsible for this heart-wrenching crime.
