A Cachar court has sentenced retired Assam Police sub-inspector Narayan Tamuli to life imprisonment for the 2007 custodial death of Motir Ali in Silchar’s Katiogorah. The verdict, delivered on August 20, includes a ₹10,000 fine, with an additional two months in jail if unpaid. Tamuli was convicted following a trial that began in 2015, which involved 21 witnesses.
