Parag murder accused ‘Guli’ lynched

DIBRUGARH, April 2 — Dreaded SULFA-man, ‘Guli’ alias Nayan Jyoti Das was hacked to death by a violent mob at the Santipara area of the city last evening. He was rushed to the Assam Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. His body had deep gashes on the cheeks, and he died of uncontrolled bleeding. Along with Guli, two others have been lynched by the mob: Santu Das, a cloth merchant and Ganesh Ghosh, a paan shop owner. The condition of the latter is critical. Guli and some anti-socials had been terrorising a section of the city’s population for quite some time now, and there was much resentment against this. Guli was named by the CBI in the journalist Parag Das murder case, and was also an accused in the double murder case in the city in May 2000, where a father and his son were killed and buried in a char of the Brahmaputra off the city. Guli had earlier killed his brother-in-law following a quarrel a couple of years ago. He left the ULFA in 1994 and surrendered before the then Chief Minister, Hiteswar Saikia, at Dibrugarh.
