Body of Missing Student Found by Riverbank

The body of 18-year-old Purna Chandra Barman, a student at Gurucharan College in Silchar, was discovered along the bank of the Barak river a week after he went missing on New Year's Eve. Purna left his rented house around 11 PM on December 31 and was reported missing by his family the following day after he failed to return. Police suspect foul play as a mobile phone and headphones were found nearby, but the SIM card was missing. Initial investigations suggest he may have been murdered before his body was disposed of at the riverbank. The local community is in shock, and police have launched a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. Authorities are continuing their efforts to uncover the truth behind this tragic incident.
