Gauhati High Court Orders Withdrawal of Mizoram Police Release Naming Deceased Man Accused
The Gauhati High Court ordered the Mizoram Police to withdraw a January 27 press release naming a deceased man as the principal accused in a young woman's murder, citing violation of police media briefing protocols. The man had died on December 16, 2025, before the statement. Following the release, the man's family faced a mob attack and eviction notice, prompting the court to address alleged police inaction and property damage claims. The court will review the matter further on December 4.
