GUWAHATI The police in eastern Assam’s Sivasagar district on Thursday detained 31-year-old Nip Pratim Baruah for allegedly issuing a death threat to the State’s Agriculture Minister Atul Bora, who is also the president of the Asom Gana Parishad.
The arrest followed a directive from Director General of Police Gyanendra Pratap Singh to the CID to initiate legal proceedings regarding the death threat posted by one Pranash Shandilya in a social media comment section on November 14.
Claiming to have been directed by the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent), the youth said Mr. Bora’s days were numbered as his residence would be destroyed by a bomb.
“We traced the person to the Gaurisagar area of Sivasagar district and detained him,” a police officer said.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, rejected a plea by former special Director General of Police (DGP) Rajesh Das to restore the electricity service connection to a bungalow in Thaiyur near Kelambakkam in Chengalpattu district, and to restrain Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) officials from disturbing the power supply in future.
