The Karbi Anglong District Congress Committee (KADCC) on Thursday clarified that it had no link with Alphajoz Timung, one of the main accused in the mob lynching incident of Panjuri Kachari Gaon under Dokmoka Police Station in Karbi Anglong, who has been arrested by police.
The KADCC in a press release said a news item published in an Assamese daily on its issue of June 14 indicating Timung’s nexus with the Congress party “is false, baseless and fabricated”.
