Guwahati Hotel Massacre: Prime Suspect's Wife Surrenders in Dhemaji After Weeks on the Run
Wire Chronicle • Verified Wire Dispatch
DHEMAJI — Jonmoni Gogoi, the wife of prime Guwahati hotel shooting suspect Ghanakanta Gogoi, surrendered to local law enforcement in Dhemaji on Saturday, bringing a temporary halt to a multi-week manhunt. Authorities confirmed that she had been evading capture since the late hours of October 26, a date coinciding with a brutal mass shooting that shook the region.
The high-stakes surrender traces back to a grim incident at Hotel Bilas Inn in Guwahati, where five people were tragically gunned down under mysterious circumstances. The mass casualty event immediately mobilized regional police forces, who identified Ghanakanta Gogoi as a central figure in the orchestration of the violent crime, prompting his spouse to flee shortly after the incident.
According to intelligence and updates provided by News Live TV (Assam), investigators have been widening their net to track down associates and family members suspected of aiding the fugitives during their time hiding from the law. Law enforcement officials emphasized that her voluntary appearance will be critical in piecing together the events leading up to the fatal night at the lodging facility.
With Gogoi now in custody, detectives are slated to begin intensive questioning to determine the full extent of her participation and pinpoint the whereabouts of any remaining fugitives. The legal proceedings are expected to accelerate rapidly in the coming days as prosecutors build a comprehensive case against all involved parties.
