Guwahati Hotel Shooting Accused Sent to Judicial Custody Amid Ongoing InvestigationPreviousNext

Ghanakanta Gogoi, accused of the October 26 shooting at Guwahati's Hotel Bilas Inn that killed five people, was sent to 14-day judicial custody after completing seven days of police remand. The incident reportedly stemmed from disputes over hotel lease and management, with a parking disagreement cited by a survivor. Gogoi was arrested shortly after the shooting and is also facing a separate 2024 bank fraud case. A special investigation team is probing the case amid family demands for strict punishment.
