The Assam government has intensified the drive against drug and cattle smuggling
At least six alleged criminals received gunshot wounds since May 10 while “trying to flee” from police custody in Assam. This period also saw 11 others, including nine claimed to be extremists, killed in encounters with the armed forces across the State. The injured — most were shot in the leg — were two cattle smugglers, a policeman allegedly involved in case of abduction, a 62-year-old arrested for rape and murder of a minor girl, a dacoit and a drug peddler. A seventh wanted in the rape and murder of two sisters in western Assam’s Kokrajhar district was shot in the leg when he tried to “resist arrest and flee”.More Related News
