Assam Students Union Gets Legal Notice From Cops Over Bandh Call
NDTV
AASU members have denied the allegations and said that ABVP members attacked first.
Dibrugarh superintendent of police Shwetank Mishra today served a legal notice to All Assam Students' Union (AASU) General Secretary Shankar Jyoti Baruah for calling a 24-hours Dibrugarh bandh.
AASU had called the bandh after their members were arrested by the Dibrugarh police for allegedly assaulting members of the BJP-linked Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad.
The Dibrugarh SP ordered the student organisation to withdraw the bandh saying that it might create disturbance to "the community at large and even breach of the security law and order". The order declared the bandh illegal and constitutional, citing previous judgements.
On December 24, 11 candidates of the ABVP won the college elections in Dibru College. 13 candidates had contested in the elections.
