Controversy engulfed Raijor Dal Chief and MLA Akhil Gogoi after the body of a woman was discovered late night on November 30 near his residence, in Guwahati’s Nizarapara area, Chandmari as per media reports. 

The victim, identified as Pushpakshi Bora, reportedly lived alone on the property.

According to police reports, Bora’s body was found at around 1.30 am, following which Akhil Gogoi immediately alerted authorities. 

The body was subsequently sent to the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death.
