Guwahati, November 2 (Daily Kiran) : Assam police took the primary suspect, Ghanakant Gogoi, to the scene of a shooting at Hotel Bilas Inn in the Ulubari area of Guwahati on November 2. This step is part of the ongoing investigation into the tragic incident that occurred on October 26, resulting in the deaths of five individuals.

During the initial investigation, authorities also looked into a possible dispute related to the lease agreement renewal for Hotel Bilas Inn. Allegations surfaced regarding unpaid rent and electricity bills as investigators sought to uncover the circumstances behind this deadly attack.

She revealed that Gogoi contacted her shortly after the shooting, claiming that he was under pressure from certain individuals. He advised her to stay cautious and ensure the safety of their daughter.
Police are currently examining these claims and other evidence to clarify the sequence of events, the motive behind the shooting, and whether anyone else may have been involved.
