The physique of Rosmita Hojai, 25, a scholar from Assam’s Dima Hasao district, was recovered from the Ganga in Uttarakhand’s Rishikesh on June 10, 5 days after she was reported lacking after taking a railway examination in Delhi.
Hemant Sharma from Delhi and Haryana’s Pankaj Kokar had been detained for questioning after the restoration of Hojai’s physique.
Tehri Garhwal (Uttarakhand) senior police superintendent Ayush Agarwal stated there have been no exterior harm marks on Hojai’s physique. “Prima facie, it appears to be a case of drowning.”
Hojai’s household rejected the drowning concept, alleging foul play. “She was supposed to board a train home on June 5. She called her mother before she was unreachable. We filed a missing persons report at a police station in Dima Hasao,” stated a member of the family. “The body was found in Uttarakhand. How did she get there? Why was her phone switched off? And who were the two men with her? These questions must be thoroughly investigated.”
Dimasa Students’ Union (DSU) was among the many teams that held protests demanding a high-level probe. DSU president Promit Sengyung stated Hojai’s dying raises questions. “Our youth are educated and ambitious. As they venture to bigger cities, safety becomes a major concern. This case must be investigated thoroughly so justice is served.”
On Friday, Sarma wrote to his Uttarakhand counterpart, Pushkar Singh Dhami, requesting an unbiased probe. “We are distressed by Rosmita Hojai’s death, especially under such circumstances. I have requested Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Dhami to look into the matter so justice can be delivered.”
Dhami assured a full and clear probe. “We are equally concerned. I have directed the DGP [police chief] to conduct a thorough and detailed investigation,” Dhami stated on X.
Shiwali Kashyap, 24, an inside designer from Assam’s Sivasagar district, was discovered useless in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad on June 12. Police stated she allegedly jumped from the second flooring of an house.
Kashyap lived in Ahmedabad and was in a relationship with one Saurav Purohit. Her mom, Bibha Majindar Baruah, stated she spoke to her daughter half-hour earlier than the incident. “She sounded normal—neither anxious nor upset. If she were planning suicide, there would have been signs. I suspect foul play and demand justice.”
Ashutosh, a relative, stated Sarma has assured them of a correct investigation. “We went to Ahmedabad and submitted all her call and chat records. We hope the police conduct an impartial investigation.”
JS Kandoria, a Gujarat Police officer, stated that Kashyap lived with Purohit for 4 months. He added that Purohit was interrogated. “Prima facie, it appears she jumped from the balcony and died of severe head injuries,” stated Kandoria.
On Sunday, Kashyap’s physique was introduced again to Assam and handed over to the household.
