Dibrugarh: Skeletal remains of a 51-year-old constable missing for 10 months were found in a pit behind the house of one of the four murder accused in a village in Assam's Sivasagar district Saturday, prompting police to arrest his second wife, her two sons from her previous marriage, and an accomplice.
The victim, Rabirul Hussain, was allegedly drugged with sleeping pills by his second wife, Baby Begum (47), and her two sons — Idul (22) and Mahfuz (19) — before being smothered and hacked to death. His body was then buried behind the house of Mukib Ali, a dumper driver, in Rohdoi Ali village, police said.
Hussain, posted in Mankachar, had travelled to his native village of Habigaon in Sivasagar for Eid in July 2024. He was last seen alive on July 27, the day he was scheduled to return to duty.
Although Baby Begum filed a missing person report, the case took a new turn when Hussain's first wife approached Charaideo police a month and a half later, suspecting foul play.
"The case had hit a dead end until the fresh complaint from his first wife prompted a re-investigation. We started from scratch using technical surveillance and human intelligence," said Charaideo SP Surjeet Singh Panesar.
Following the murder, Mukib fled to Chennai.

But his luck ran out when a team led by DSP Aryan Nath tracked him down and arrested him in Sriperumbudur. During interrogation, Mukib confessed to the crime and led investigators to the burial site. "DNA profiling of the remains will be carried out," said SP Panesar.
Subsequently, police arrested Baby Begum, Idul, and Mahfuz.
"The constable had taken a bank loan and even bought a car in Baby's name. However, he was also supporting his first wife. The motive appears to be financial — to prevent him from continuing to spend money on his first wife. This is the preliminary motive we've gathered," the SP added.
Police are proceeding with charges of murder and criminal conspiracy against all four accused.

MANGALURU: In an incident that recently came to light, a woman from Rekya village in Beltangady taluk reported the theft of gold jewellery worth Rs 2.6 lakh from her home. Kusuma, 48, the complainant, stated that she and her husband follow a daily routine of locking their house and placing the key in the cattle shed before heading to work. According to her complaint, she owned approximately 52 grams of gold jewellery, including a chain, bangle, and earrings, which she stored securely in a locked cupboard inside their house. The key to the cupboard was usually kept in a corner of the house. She last saw the jewellery on May 23. However, on June 14 around 6.30 pm, while preparing to visit a temple, the couple looked for the jewellery, and the valuables were missing. The key remained in its usual place, suggesting that someone familiar with their routine may have accessed the locker.

Trump's revival of an 85-year old immigration law creates new risks for undocumented migrants
The Trump administration has started enforcing an 85-year-old immigration law that requires non-citizens to register with the federal government and provide fingerprints. This law, originally passed in 1940 during World War II, had not been actively enforced for over seven decades, according to a report by Politico. Since April 2025, federal prosecutors have charged undocumented immigrants in several states, including Louisiana, Arizona, Montana, Alabama, Texas, and Washington, DC, with 'willful failure to register.' Most of the accused were already detained and facing deportation when the new charges were added. The registration law, part of the Alien Registration Act , classifies failure to register as a misdemeanor. Penalties include up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. The law applies to all non-citizens living in the US for over 30 days, regardless of their immigration status. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Legal experts say the law puts undocumented immigrants in a difficult position. If they comply, they risk exposing details about their illegal entry and stay. If they refuse, they face prosecution. (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) Jonathan Weinberg, a law professor at Wayne State University told Politico, 'The sort of obvious reason to bring back registration in the first place is the hope that people will register, and therefore give themselves up effectively to the government because they already confessed illegal entry.' Live Events You Might Also Like: Trump administration gives personal data of immigrant medicaid enrollees to deportation officials The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also confirmed that the aim of the policy is to encourage undocumented immigrants to leave the country voluntarily. In February, DHS described this as 'mass self-deportation,' calling it a safer and more cost-effective method. A new seven-page registration form asks for detailed personal information, including how and when individuals entered the US. DHS estimates that around 3.2 million immigrants are currently unregistered. Since April, 47,000 people have reportedly completed the new form. As per the Politico report, a legal challenge is underway. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and other groups have filed a lawsuit. US District Judge Trevor McFadden declined to temporarily block the policy in April, saying the plaintiffs did not show direct harm. The case is now on appeal. In a separate development, a Louisiana judge recently dismissed five of the new criminal cases, stating that the defendants likely didn't know about the law and that the government had not provided a clear way to register since the 1950s.

The Justice Department has appealed the dismissed cases and said it will continue pursuing immigration-related prosecutions. Michelle LaPointe, legal director at the American Immigration Council, said to Politico, 'I don't expect them to abate just because there were some dismissals.' She warned the government could still pursue many more cases under this law.
