Guwahati Police Seize Refrigerator For Forensic Examination In Woman’s Murder Case

Guwahati Police seized several pieces of evidence from the residence of 25-year-old Riya Talukdar, who was found dead at her home with her severed head allegedly stored inside a refrigerator. The action was taken days after the discovery as investigators continued probing the circumstances surrounding her death. Talukdar’s husband, Ramanuj Goswami, who has been identified as the main accused, was also taken to the residence by police on Wednesday as part of the investigation.

According to police sources, the exercise was conducted in the presence of a magistrate, while investigators examined the house and documented the proceedings on video. The inspection was intended to help investigators gather and preserve evidence connected to the alleged killing. Goswami’s presence at the residence formed part of the police investigation as officers continued examining the sequence of events surrounding Talukdar’s death.

Among the items seized by investigators was the refrigerator in which Talukdar’s severed head was allegedly kept after the killing. Police also took possession of clothes reportedly worn by the victim and a sharp-edged weapon suspected to have been used in the crime. The seized items are expected to form part of the evidence being examined by investigators as they work to establish what happened inside the residence.
