Earlier it was believed that it was the handiwork of the ULFA-I that left five people dead in eastern Assam’s Tinsukia district on Thursday evening.

The incident had taken place at around 8.55 pm at Kherbari village, around six km from Dr Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya bridge) under Dhola Police Station in Tinsukia district.

“Four motorcycle-borne gunmen came to Kherbari village and indiscriminately opened fire on the people who were playing ludo in a dhaba at the village under Dhola police station,” Tinsukia Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Prakash Sonowal said.  According to locals the armed militants came in Army fatigue and started firing at the people.

Meanwhile, a 12-hour Tinsukia district bandh has been called by the Tinsukia district Samiti of All Assam Bengali Youth Students’ Federation on November 2 to protest against the shedding of innocent blood.  The students’ body has sought the cooperation of the people to make the bandh a success.
