The Tai Ahom Students' Union is demanding a CBI investigation into the death of Dashami Duarah, a 22-year-old Forest Department employee found hanging at her Kaziranga quarters on August 8, claiming it's murder disguised as suicide.
Key Evidence Raising Suspicions:
- Body discovered at 6 a.m. in high-security campus with CCTV and guards on duty
- Crucial evidence allegedly destroyed or collected 10 days later
- Post-mortem timeline discrepancies suggest document manipulation
- Her room was mysteriously changed in March without explanation
Institutional Failures:
- Police rushed to declare it suicide without proper investigation
- A senior Divisional Forest Officer remains suspiciously on leave
- Evidence of workplace harassment and threats allegedly ignored
- Investigating officer accused of secretly collecting evidence
Union's Demands: The organization rejected the "love affair" narrative pushed by police, emphasizing Dashami was an educated woman from a poor family with no apparent reason for suicide. They've given authorities an ultimatum: conduct a transparent CBI investigation or face sustained protests.
The case highlights potential institutional cover-up in one of Assam's premier wildlife conservation areas, with mounting public pressure for accountability and justice.
