Police in Guwahati have sealed a homestay in the Dharapur area following the death of Nimisha Thakuria, a student enrolled at Guwahati University, under circumstances that remain unclear. The closure of the accommodation facility comes as investigators seek to determine the exact cause and circumstances surrounding the student's death.
Authorities are intensifying their inquiry into the case, with particular focus on questioning Asif Ali, identified as Thakuria's boyfriend. Police have also begun a thorough examination of records maintained at the homestay facility, as part of efforts to establish a timeline of events preceding the death.
The case has become increasingly complex, with multiple investigative threads being pursued simultaneously. Officials have not yet made any formal statements regarding the suspected cause of death or whether any charges might be filed. The sealing of the homestay suggests authorities view the location as potentially significant to their ongoing inquiry.
Family members and university officials are awaiting further updates from police as the investigation progresses. The student's death has prompted heightened scrutiny of safety protocols at accommodation facilities used by university students in the region.
