He asked Superintendent of Police (SP) Morigaon Aparna Natarajan to nab the culprits and hand them exemplary punishment as per law of the land.

Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma also spoke to the parents of the unfortunate girl, empathised with them and assured them that culprits will not be spared as a massive manhunt is underway for their arrest.

Sarma also asked SP to take all possible steps and handle the case in such a manner so that the perpetrators of the heinous crime can be tried and it acts as a deterrent against commission of crime against women.

Chief Minister Sarma said, “Every life is precious. What happened at Bhuragaon in Morigaon district to a religious minority minor girl was really very unfortunate. I assured the parents of the girl that the perpetrators of the crime will not be spared”.
