Assam: Guwahati journalist found dead inside office

Guwahati: In a shocking incident, a female news anchor of a news portal was found inside their office at Christian Basti in Guwahati.

The deceased, Ritumoni Roy, was found in the premises of Sach The Reality, where she worked. Police said she appeared to have died by suicide.

Investigators recovered a short handwritten note from the scene that read: “It is for the good of everyone. Sorry.”

According to police, Ritumoni had reported for duty on November 23 but never returned home after completing her shift that night.

Her colleagues made the grim discovery when they arrived for work the next morning.

Sources said Ritumoni had previously worked with several other digital media outlets before joining her current organisation.

Friends and co-workers have been left stunned, especially because Ritumoni was preparing for her wedding, scheduled for December 5, and invitations had already been distributed. She had attended a pre-wedding gathering at a friend’s home the previous night before heading back to the office.

Early inquiries suggest she may have been coping with significant personal and financial pressure. Some close to her believe anxiety related to her upcoming wedding and possible lack of family support may have intensified her emotional burden.

Police have launched a detailed investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death. More updates are awaited as the probe continues.
