GUWAHATI: A labourer working in a Tea Factory in the Jorhat district of Assam, who had previously sustained critical injuries while on duty, tragically succumbed to his injuries on Monday morning.
The deceased, identified as Bhaskar Mahanti, passed away at the Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH), where he was undergoing treatment for the grievous injuries he had sustained, as confirmed by the Superintendent of Police, Jorhat, to G Plus.
