GUWAHATI — A ninth-grade student allegedly attacked his mother with a sharp weapon inside their East Jyotinagar residence on Friday morning before dying from a fall at a multistory structure in the city's ABC commercial belt.
Police teams launched an inquiry into the sequence of events connecting both incidents across a four-kilometer corridor. The boy's mother, identified as Chandrani Kalita, suffered life-threatening puncture wounds at the family's home near Haldhi Mill. Emergency responders transported Kalita to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), where attending trauma surgeons admitted her directly into the Intensive Care Unit. Her condition remains critical.
Surveillance footage gathered from security cameras positioned along the residential lane captured the teenager walking away from the compound shortly after the assault. Investigators have not established the weapon's origin or the dispute that triggered the confrontation. The boy was next spotted in the ABC area, where he plunged from an elevated floor of a building. Attendants transferred him to emergency facilities, but medical staff confirmed he succumbed to fatal blunt-force trauma sustained in the drop.
