Interstate Border Violence "Perpetrated By Mizoram Police": Assam Team

In its report tabled in the Assam Assembly, the team also said that the incident "was nothing but a cold-blooded massacre", with no effort on the part of the Mizoram Police to control the mob on its side.

The recent violence in Cachar district, along the Assam-Mizoram border, was "perpetrated" by the police force in the neighbouring state, an all-party delegation of the Assembly here that had visited the site of the incident said on Friday. In its report tabled in the Assam Assembly, the team also said that the incident "was nothing but a cold-blooded massacre", with no effort on the part of the Mizoram Police to control the mob on its side. The delegation noted that the "Mizoram Police along with some miscreants indulged in encroachment activities" in Assam, and claimed that the border dispute has been festering for long due to this reason. Six Assam Police personnel were killed in a bloody conflict along the interstate boundary on July 26.
