Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rules transfer of district officials, says eviction drive will continue
Sheikh Farid would often jog to school about 2 km from his house at Dhalpur No. 2 village in northern Assam’s Darrang district. He ran twice the distance to his death by a bullet on September 23.
Farid, a 17-year-old student of Class 9, was one of two persons killed in police firing during a drive to free government land of alleged encroachers. Maynal Haque, 27, of Dhalpur Hill village was the other.
“We did not know when he slipped out of the house during the day and where he went. When we found out, it was too late,” Abdul Khaleque, Farid’s father said.
