  • Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the Singapore High Commission’s death certificate lists drowning, but the formal post-mortem report is still awaited through diplomatic channels.
  • A new autopsy has been scheduled at Guwahati Medical College on Tuesday under supervision of an AIIMS Guwahati team as part of the investigation.
