Agartala, 3rd October 2024:  A special court in Khowai district has sentenced Salfa Jamatia to life imprisonment for gangraping of a 15-year-old girl in a case that has lingered since May 9, 2016.

The victim, a resident of the Hadrai Bari area, was last seen visiting her girlfriend’s house in the Darjeeling Tila area. Her family reported her missing when she failed to return home that evening. Tragically, her body was discovered the following day in the Darjeeling hill area.
