Overview

• District authorities ordered a reshuffle at Golakganj and Gauripur police stations, installing new leadership and cancelling earlier postings linked to the flashpoint.
• The Golakganj officer-in-charge was suspended and the Gauripur OC was placed under reserve close, with complaints also filed against the district SSP and two DSPs.
• Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said a DIG-led inquiry will report within five days and promised strict action against any personnel found to have used excessive force.
• AKRSU’s torchlight rally seeking ST status and a separate Kamatapur state was halted by security forces, leading to a baton charge that locals say injured over 100 people, some referred to Dhubri and two to Guwahati for treatment.
• A 12-hour bandh disrupted parts of Dhubri, opposition leaders including Gaurav Gogoi condemned the crackdown, and AKRSU rejected the reshuffle as insufficient and warned of further agitation.
