Assam: Group of men from Muslim community allegedly assault Khasi villagers in Kalakhal
A group of 25–30 men, reportedly from the Muslim Mia community, allegedly attacked Khasi villagers at a betel leaf plantation in Kalakhal Khasi Punji on August 15, leaving two seriously injured.
According to an FIR lodged at Kachudaram Police Station by Sibil Suchiang, wife of victim Raju Kasar, her husband along with villagers Bikas Syngkor, Adison Kasar, Annias Rasmut, Wiki Pohom, and Starly Lamin went to their plantation around 9–10 am for routine work. Suddenly, the group of men—including identified individuals such as Salim, Loti, Kalamia, Nur, Mintu, Abimulla, Abdulrehman, Rosit Ali, Kalu Mia, Sahid Ahmed Mazumdar, Bablu, Sharul, Lekai, Amir San, and Alta Hussain Loskor—allegedly encroached on the land and demanded the villagers vacate immediately.
The attackers reportedly used daos, sharp weapons, and locally made firearms, attempting to physically harm the villagers. In the ensuing clash, Raju Kasar and Bikas Syngkor were seriously injured and are currently undergoing treatment at Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH).
The FIR further states that the accused have been allegedly involved in multiple criminal activities, including theft, drug and timber smuggling, and distribution of yaba tablets and ganja.
They also reportedly threatened to burn the Kalakhal Part-I Khasi village and warned of targeting school-going girls with abduction and sexual assault, heightening fear among the local community.
The complainant has urged the Kachudaram Police to take immediate action against the accused and ensure the safety of the indigenous villagers.
