At least two people were killed in police firing, while several policemen were injured as a massive clash erupted in Assam’s Sonapur in the outskirts of Guwahati on Thursday during an eviction drive.
The deceased have been identified as Haider Ali and Juwahid Ali, who reportedly succumbed to injuries from police firing at Sonapur District Hospital.
As per inputs, scores of illegal encroachers at Kachutali village in Kamrup District, where illegal settlements were being razed under an eviction drive, attacked police personnel and government officials while being armed with sticks, stones and machetes in hand.
Additionally, one police vehicle has also been vandalised by the attackers.
In response to the escalating violence, police opened fire to disperse the mob, and additional security forces were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Following the incident, several people were injured in the clash. All injured individuals were transported to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for treatment.
The clash has raised concerns and highlighted the difficulties faced by authorities in managing such high-tension situations.
Further details about the incident are still being awaited.
