Williamnagar, April 17: Two young men from Assam along with their hired driver have been found murdered, their bodies burnt beyond recognition and buried in two shallow graves in the Rongmil area, 15 kms from Rongjeng in East Garo Hills.
The murder, coming on the eve of polling, has sent shock waves across the region.
Police sources inform that the three men left Goalpara very early hours of Tuesday morning and their last call was made sometime around 6 AM when they informed family members that they were having breakfast on the road after entering East Garo Hills through the Damra-Dainadubi-Wageasi road to Rongmil.
