Poll loss blow? BDC candidate found dead, suicide suspected
Pithoragarh: A 54-year-old grocery shop owner who had contested and lost the recent panchayat elections in Pithoragarh district was found dead on Saturday evening, with police suspecting suicide. Lakshman Giri, a resident of Pithoragarh's Lelu village, had secured just 15 votes and placed last among five candidates for the post of block development committee (BDC) member from Lelu. A day after the results, he visited Wadda and was returning home in the evening when a local saw him vomiting and informed his family. His son Rohit rushed to the spot and found him unconscious. Giri was taken to the district hospital, where he died later that night. "Initial signs suggest he may have consumed poison. Suicide is suspected, but we're investigating all possible angles," said SHO Lalat Mohan Joshi of Pithoragarh police station. Police said Giri may have been shocked by the results, but added that other triggers, including personal and business-related issues, are also being looked into. Since Lelu falls under the jurisdiction of Jajardewal police station, the case has been transferred there. The body was handed over to the family after postmortem examination.

Wife, teen daughter among four held for Dibrugarh bizman's murder
1 2 Dibrugarh: A local businessman was allegedly murdered in a plot orchestrated by his wife Bobby Gogoi and teenage daughter in the Barbaruah area of Dibrugarh. The mother-daughter duo, along with two others — identified as Dipjyoti Buragohain (21) and his accomplice, a minor (17) — were arrested by police on Sunday morning, eight days after the crime. The victim, Uttam Gogoi (52), a resident of Lahon Gaon in Barbaruah, was found dead at his residence on July 25. What initially appeared to be a robbery gone wrong, soon unraveled into a chilling murder conspiracy involving his family members. According to police, Gogoi's wife and their minor daughter — currently a Class 9 student — were directly involved in planning the murder. The 16-year-old teenage daughter was allegedly in a relationship with one of the other accused, Dipjyoti. Investigators said the mother and daughter had paid Buragohain and his minor accomplice several lakh rupees, along with gold jewellery, to carry out the murder. The gold jewellery was recovered from them following their arrests. "The mother-daughter duo tried to stage the scene as a robbery to mislead investigators, but inconsistencies in their statement and forensic evidence exposed their involvement," Dibrugarh SSP Rakesh Reddy said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The news of the arrests sparked protests in Barbaruah.
