Class 9 student stabs mother, jumps to death in Guwahati
The Story in Brief
A class 9 student in Guwahati allegedly stabbed his mother with a sharp weapon at their home in the Bamunimaidam area on Friday (13 November 2026) night, police said on Saturday (14 November 2026). The mother, identified by Times of India as 50-year-old Chandrani Kalita, sustained serious neck injuries and is in critical condition at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).
The teenager left home after the attack, posted details of the incident in his school WhatsApp group, and asked others to locate his house and help his mother. He later jumped from the terrace of a multi-storey building in the ABC area of the city, taking his own life. Police have registered a case and are investigating the cause of the attack. Further updates are awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same facts from police statements, with no significant difference in framing. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, focused on the sequence of events: the attack on Friday night, the mother's critical condition at GMCH, the student's WhatsApp message, and his suicide by jumping. Times of India adds the mother's name, Chandrani Kalita, which the others omit. DNA India uses the headline phrase 'Assam Horror' but the body text is not available for comparison. The story remains under investigation, with police yet to divulge a motive.
