  "account": "Three individuals, including a minor, have been arrested in Assam's Hailakandi district over the alleged gang rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl, according to police reports on August 4, 2026. The victim's body was discovered in her room on Saturday night (August 1, 2026) after her mother attended a neighbor's function. The body, which exhibited visible injuries, was promptly sent to the SK Roy Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Following the incident, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed, and the three accused were apprehended on Monday (August 3, 2026). The tragedy led to protests in the area, with locals blocking the NH-6 and demanding severe punishment for the perpetrators. Various organizations have condemned the incident and have called for a fast-track trial to ensure swift justice for the victim. Demonstrations were organized in the region, and petitions were submitted to the district administration.",
