Overview

  • Police upgraded charges against Kashyap to Section 105 BNS for culpable homicide not amounting to murder following the death of 21-year-old student Samiul Haque on July 29.
  • Kashyap was detained at Saraighat Bridge and formally arrested at 1:30 am on July 30 before being remanded to two days’ police custody by a Guwahati court on July 31.
  • A Forensic Science Laboratory team has seized both vehicles and begun evidence collection while investigators analyse CCTV footage and record eyewitness accounts.
  • Widespread protests and public demand for justice led Kashyap’s theatre company to terminate her two-year contract and intensified scrutiny of elite accountability in Assam.
  • Guwahati Police continue to build their case with pending forensic test results and additional witness interviews set to inform the upcoming chargesheet.
