00:00This woman from Assam was found dead.

00:05Assam's Rasmita Hojai went missing in Delhi after appearing for an exam.

00:18had travelled to Delhi on June 4, 2025 to appear for the Railway Recruitment Board examination.

00:24But she never made it back.

00:25Two men last seen with her claimed she had been swept away by a river.

00:28That's it. That's the story her family was given.

00:52Would things have been different if Rasmita had been from a different state?

00:55If a story had a viral twist, if a name fit better in a headline?
