Com Subodh Baishya, a young promising SFI leader of Nalbari Area, Kamrup district, Assam was killed by the blood thirsty devilish forces on 7th September, 1984. Com Subodh Baisya was a degree student of Kamrup College, Chamata and was the Vice-President of the SFI, Nalbari Local Committee. An active organizer and a popular student leader, Com. Subodh dedicated his life for the noble cause of building up the democratic movement. Inspite of the tremendous financial pressure, he appeared in the B.A. examination this year and became the hope of the entire family and an inspiration to our comrades. Several attempts were made on his life by the AASU for his uncompromising stand against chauvinism and secessionism and for his unflinching faith in the unity and integrity of our country. On the night of February 1, 1982, while Com. Subodh was asleep at his residence at Village Bgurihati, Halbari, he was stabbed. Again on February 6, 1983 the very same elements, having failed to trace Com. Subodh, desperately attacked his younger sister, brother and his mother with daggers and other lethal weapons. Consequently, the younger brother has been crippled for life.

And finally, on the fateful day of September 7, 1984, while traveling by train from Gauhati to Hojai to meet a friend of his, he became the victim of a premeditated conspiracy of the killers. His dead body was found with countless injuries near the railway bridge over the river Kalang. The Police found an interview call-letter bearing the full address of Com. Subodh along with a passport size photograph. But strangely enough, they did not find it necessary to communicate the matter to his family members. The GRP, in connivance with the railway authorities, tried to distort the incident. The police buried his dead body at the public cremation ground at Gauhati without even informing his kith and kin. But ultimately Subodh's body was dug out on 16th September by his comrades and friends.
