Hundreds of students from Nagaon College blocked a road and raised slogans against “publicity crazy” Nagaon SP Anand Mishra.
Sivasagar MLA and Raijaor Dal chief Akhil Gogoi has demanded immediate suspension of SP Mishra.
“We demanded the government to immediately suspend Nagaon’s Superintendent of Police and arrest the police personnel who were involved in shooting the innocent youth,” he added.
Attacking the state government, Debabrata Saikia, Leader of Opposition, said, “Our Chief Minister has openly said – even in the assembly – that it should not be a pattern. Here you see someone has gone it to buy medicine and is shit at and police were alleging that he was peddling drugs and all.”

The report is to be submitted within seven days, Sarma said.
