DAPORIJO, Sep 4: In a major breakthrough, Daporijo Police have apprehended nine individuals in connection with the abduction and subsequent murder of Sanjay Nath, whose body was discovered buried near the Subansiri riverbank. The arrests came after a relentless investigation that began with the registration of a Zero FIR by the Daporijo Police on September 1 last.
Speaking to the media, Superintendent of Police  Upper Subansiri  Thuten Jampa informed that, the case came to light when Silapather Police Station in Assam reported the abduction of one Sanjay Nath, by a primary suspect being identified as Tabu Doni.
Following the FIR, Daporijo Police launched a comprehensive investigation under Sections 140(3)/3(5) BNS, establishing special teams led by DySP Gamli Loyi. The investigation was spearheaded by Inspector Jawpha Wangsa (OC PS Daporijo) and included a dedicated team comprising SI Johny Tasung, SI Runa Dada, Head Constable Ibrahim Khalil, and other constables.
On September 2 last, the investigation took a pivotal turn when the police received critical information about Nath's possible location. Acting swiftly, the police, accompanied by Magistrate Goken Koyu, discovered Nath's body buried approximately 7 km from Daporijo, near the Subansiri riverbank enroute to Taliha. The body was exhumed, identified as Sanjay Nath, and sent to the district hospital for a post-mortem examination.
In a coordinated operation, six individuals were arrested on the same day for their alleged involvement in the abduction and concealment of Nath's body. The arrested individuals are:
Arjun Ramsyari (19) from Madhuri Pathar, Dhemaji, Assam. Yachak Rai, (23)(Female), from Naba Village, Upper Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh, Sanu alias Dipak Tamang (27) from Lekapani, Tinsukia, Assam, currently residing in Daporijo, Tarsis Bagh (19), from Posumi Camp, Gogamukh, Assam, currently residing in Daporijo, Kamki Lusi Leya (29) from Leya Village, Daporijo, Arunachal Pradesh and Anand Rao (30) from Tarba Village, Odisha, currently residing in Daporijo
Further investigation revealed a chilling sequence of events leading to Nath's death. It was discovered that Nath had owed ` 2,30,000 to Tabu Doni and had been avoiding repayment. On August 22, Nath was abducted by four individualsYachak Rai, Tarsis Bagh, Anand Rao, and Kamki Lusi from Subansiri Bridge and taken to Doni's house, where he was brutally assaulted. Later, Doni, along with Jeke Marbom, Arjun Ramsyari, and Tai Lamdik, attempted to capture Nath’s companion, Arun Chetry, but failed. Nath was then moved to Tai Lamdik's residence in Kuporijo, where the assault continued, ultimately resulting in his death.
The perpetrators, realizing the gravity of their crime, decided to conceal the body by burying it in a remote location before making a last attempt to give medical aid at the District Hospital Daporijo, but the doctor declared Nath brought dead.
On September 3, police arrested the main suspect, Tabu Doni,(46) along with Jeke Marbom (43) and on September 4, Tai Lamdik was also taken into custody. The police have seized three four-wheelers and a two wheeler in connection with the crime.
The SP added that the investigation is ongoing, and further arrests may follow as they continue to unravel the full extent of the conspiracy behind this heinous crime.
