Haflong : The wife of Santosh Hojai, Jayanta Hojai who has been demanding capital punishment for the culprits who kidnapped and killed her husband brutally for no reason remained unheard even after her repeated approaches. Hojai had demanded capital punishment for the culprits who kidnapped and killed her husband brutally for no reason while appreciating the Gauhati High Court and CID.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam Police has already filed the charge sheet against the accused in the sensational Santosh Hojai kidnapping and murder case.Talking to this correspondent, She said that even after filing the charge sheet against the accused in the sensational Santosh Hojai kidnapping and murder case, the government was found to be ‘hesitant’ to bring all the accused to book even after getting strong evidence against them.

Santosh Hojai, a promising businessman and a popular social worker in Harangajao, was abducted by five unidentified men in plain clothes from his house at Damadi Hawar under Harangajao police station on April 24, 2020. Wife Jayanta Hojai went to lodge an FIR, but the officer-in-charge, SI Angshu Rajkumar refused to lodge the FIR, saying that her husband would return home the next day.

Two days after that when Hojai did not return home after receiving assurance from the OC, people of nearby areas protested against the officer-in-charge and finally registered the complaint. Six days later, Hojai’s decomposed and partly burnt body was found buried near NH-27 road, 100 km from his home at Lailing Reserve forest under Langting police station in Dima Hasao district.

Following the recovery of the body, Hojai’s wife filed an affidavit at Gauhati HC and the court ordered an SIT under DIG (SR) and remanded Kanchan Naiding, a cadre of Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA), for three days for interrogation in connection with the case.

Smt Hojai further said if justice was delayed in such a way, people would lose trust in the judiciary, Law and order, and even the government since in her husband’s killing, people from Government agencies were reported to be involved and even the CID also named them.
