Guwahati: National Federation of Newspaper Employees has expressed shock and
grief at the brutal killing of a freelance journalist in Hojai on September 4

under
Hojai police station in Nagaon district of Assam and his wounded body was
found
by 9 pm, reported the Guwahati based satellite news channels.
NFNE secretary (eastern zone) Nava Thakuria has condemned the killing and
demanded a high level enquiry into the incident. He added, “We have been forced
to add another name in the list of over 20 journalist-victims, whom we lost in
the last two decades in Assam.”

Nagaon parliamentary constituency as an independent candidate.
