The All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) has condemned the killing of a businessman at Paneri in Udalguri district on Friday night by unidentified miscreants.

Talking to newspersons, newly elected ABSU president Dipen Boro suspected that deliberate attempts are being made to derail the peace process by a third force.

The ABSU president pointed out that use of firearms in the BTR after the signing of the Bodo Accord is a matter of grave concern.
