The assassination of Nandita Saikia is probably well-known across Assam. Nandita, a degree student at Moridhal College in Dhemaji district, was recently wounded with a sharp weapon by a teenager for turning down his marriage proposal. Nandita, who was seriously injured in the attack, died of her injuries earlier this week at a hospital where she had been taken following the attack. Rintu Sharma, the adolescent, was apprehended by the police.

The story of the girl went viral on social media, with netizens expressing their outrage and calling for the accused to be executed. Meanwhile, the Dhemaji Lawyers’ Association (DLA) has voiced its outrage at the girl’s assault and decided not to represent the murder suspect Rintu Sharma.

The Association has expressed its displeasure with the assassination of a talented student and has determined that none of its lawyers would represent Sharma in this case.
