In a swift response to a distressing incident, Assam Police have taken into custody an 'imam' - a religious leader in Islam - suspected of involvement in the murder of a 12-year-old student at a madrasa in Cachar district. 

The victim's lifeless body was discovered with a slit throat in the Darus Salam Hafizia and Alia Madrassa located in Hawaithang of Lailapur.

Following the grim discovery, the student's roommates alerted authorities when their attempts to wake him up for early morning prayers unveiled the tragedy.
