Assam: Schoolboy dies after mob attack in Bongaigaon
Guwahati: A 16-year-old student died on Sunday night after succumbing to injuries owing to a lynching incident in Bongaigaon, Assam.
Iyasin Ali passed away on Sunday night due to severe injuries sustained in a mob-lynching incident in Abadi village, Bongaigaon district.
