Hit-and-run case: Assamese actress Nandini Kashyap to be produced in court today
Guwahati: Assamese actress Nandini Kashyap who was arrested in connection with a hit-and-run case in Guwahati in which a 21-year-old engineering student was killed, will be produced before the court on Friday, officials said. The two-day police custody of the accused actress has ended and the police will produce her before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kamrup district. According to police sources, the bail petition of Kashyap will be opposed by the investigative agency and extended police custody will be sought. Meanwhile, a prominent theatre group in the city has cancelled its agreement with Nandini Kashyap following the hit-and-run incident. The 21-year-old engineering student, Samiul Haque, who was critically injured in a hit-and-run incident, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday evening, prompting Guwahati Police to arrest Nandini Kashyap. The fatal accident occurred in the wee hours of July 26 in the city's Dakshingaon area and the actress did not stop to take the injured youth to hospital and just drove away. Samiul was returning home from his part-time job at a streetlight installation site when he was allegedly struck by a Bolero SUV. Kashyap, who had initially appeared before police on the morning of July 26, was interrogated and released on a Personal Recognisance (PR) bond. She was summoned again on July 27 for further questioning and subsequently the cops let her go. Her arrest came hours after Samiul died in the hospital on Tuesday. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Jayanta Sarathi Borah, told reporters on Wednesday that traffic police were not immediately aware of the incident on the night it occurred. 'A Bolero had hit a scooty rider on the night of July 25. The next morning, the woman came to the police and was allowed to leave on a PR bond. A notice was issued requiring her to appear as needed,' Borah said. An FIR was later filed by the victim's family, though it did not name the accused. According to the police, Kashyap's alleged involvement in the case was established on July 26. Initially, charges under Sections 115(2), 125, and 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) were invoked. Following the victim's death, police added Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). Police have submitted a request to the Forensic Science Laboratory for examination of the vehicle believed to be involved and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area. DCP Borah also stated that Kashyap was medically examined after her arrest. 'Since she voluntarily appeared before the police on July 26, there was no immediate need for a medical check-up at the time,' he added. The victim's family has raised concerns over Kashyap's conduct, alleging that she neither stopped to assist Samiul after the accident nor visited him in the hospital during his treatment.

Victim in ‘hit-and-run' involving Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap: College student who assisted Guwahati civic body to fund education
The 21-year-old polytechnic student who worked in Guwahati to support his education and was killed last week in a hit-and-run case, which led to the arrest of Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, was remembered as a hard worker and the pride of his village. Samiul Haque, who was from Sonapur village in Assam's Nalbari district, was a student at Nalbari Polytechnic, a government diploma institute. 'Everyone knew that he was very bright. His family was very proud when he got a star mark (above 75%) in his class 10 examinations. But he was not from a very well-to-do family. His uncle worked with the Guwahati Municipal Corporation, so he assisted his uncle with the work to support his education. He studied by day and worked by night,' said his family friend Shahid Haque. It was while he was out for work at night to repair streetlights that he was run down by an SUV in Guwahati's Dakhingaon area on July 25 at around 3 am. He succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday and actor Nandini Kashyap was arrested for culpable homicide in the early hours of Wednesday, after days of public outrage over the hit-and-run incident. According to Guwahati's DCP (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah, an initial case had been registered at Dispur police station for the bailable offences of voluntarily causing hurt, act endangering human life and rash driving. He said that after Haque died on Tuesday evening, police moved court to get the non-bailable offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder added to the FIR, after which Kashyap was arrested at around 1.30 am on Wednesday. Until then, while Kashyap had been summoned by police for questioning, she had not been detained by police. With the police coming under scrutiny for this, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday claimed this was a 'strategy'. 'When the actress knocked down the man, if we had arrested her then itself, we would have had to give her bail that night itself. So, it was a strategy on the part of the police, because we knew that the patient was serious. Until death occurs or we cannot give a grievous injury report, it is (not) a non-bailable case. So, the police did what they had to do strategically. Now, she has been put in lockup. We will file a chargesheet and it will be a case of culpable homicide,' he told reporters. Samiul had initially been taken to the Guwahati Medical College and Hospital for treatment on the night of the incident, but was later moved by his family to a prominent private hospital in the city for treatment. Shahid said that the family had struggled to arrange the finances for this. 'After there was no encouraging news for two days, the family decided that even though they aren't well-to-do, they could not let him die and transferred him to a private hospital. They sold some land they had in the village. His brother and I even posted images and videos of the incident on social media to ask for financial help from the public. People were very shocked by the incident, and a lot of people sent us money in support of Samiul,' the family friend said.
