In a significant development in the Anju Dorjee murder case in Assam, the prime suspect and live-in partner, Mani Khan, has been apprehended by Guwahati city police after a seven-day manhunt. The mysterious death of the Hindu girl, Anju Dorjee, discovered in a Guwahati flat on November 12, has sparked concerns about a potential Love Jihad incident, as she was in a live-in relationship with the married Muslim man, Mani Khan.
Anju Dorjee, a 25 to 26-year-old from Bokajan, Assam, was found dead in her leased apartment in the Six Mile area. The live-in partner, Mani Khan, a married Muslim man and father of two from Barpeta district in lower Assam, had been elusive since the incident came to light. The arrest sheds light on the intricate details of the case, including Khan’s marital status and fatherhood.
The arrest, carried out by Dispur Police in Guwahati, followed an examination of CCTV footage from the apartment where the suspected murder occurred. The footage from the last 15 days played a crucial role in identifying Mani Khan as the prime suspect.
The investigation into Anju Dorjee’s tragic death is ongoing, and initial reports suggest it is a murder case. Anju’s body was discovered when her landlord detected a foul smell emanating from the apartment she shared with Mani Khan. Although the postmortem report is pending, authorities have gathered vital clues about the murder.
The complex nature of the case, involving a married Muslim man in a live-in relationship with a Hindu girl, has fueled speculation about another instance of Love Jihad. The elopement of Mani Khan following the discovery of Anju’s body adds intrigue to the investigation. The Assam community awaits further developments in this sensational case as the authorities delve deeper into the relationships and circumstances surrounding Anju Dorjee’s untimely death.
