Five held in Guwahati for Ranjit Bora’s murder case

Almost two and a half-months after a distributor of a dairy cooperative was shot dead here, the Guwahati Police on Sunday said it has cracked the case by nabbing five members of a gang who had allegedly committed the crime.

Two of them on November 21 allegedly shot dead Ranjit Bora when he was on his way to a bank to deposit money, Guwahati Police Commissioner Diganta Barah said.

“The two main accused were arrested from Guwahati and Nalbari. During interrogation, they admitted to have committed the crime with a 9 mm pistol,” he said at a press meet.

Three of their associates have also been apprehended, while the sixth member is on the run, the police commissioner said.
