In Lahorijan village, under the Borchala police outpost, a man identified as Abdul Mannan allegedly shot and killed an unidentified individual. The identity of the deceased remains unknown at this time.
Police have recovered a .32-caliber pistol and two live rounds from Abdul Mannan.
According to local residents, the incident occurred around 2 pm when they heard a gunshot. Upon rushing to the scene, they discovered the lifeless body of a man who had been fatally shot.
The armed assailant attempted to flee the scene but was intercepted by locals in a nearby village called Patidoiya. Despite efforts to escape, he was overpowered by the enraged crowd.
Upon receiving information about the incident, a police team led by Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Kangkan Jyoti Nath and the Lahorighat Sub-Divisional Police Office (SDPO) arrived promptly at the scene.

While Abdul Mannan has been identified, the victim's identity remains a mystery. The suspect is currently undergoing medical treatment, and police are yet to extract detailed information about the victim.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Abdul Mannan and the deceased had travelled together from Cachar. It is suspected that a financial dispute may have escalated, potentially leading to one man abducting the other.
