BJP Candidate Files Complaint Against Ajmal Over ‘Killer’ and ‘Encounter’ Remarks

Overview

• Devasish Sharma filed a written complaint on Saturday at Nagaon Sadar police alleging AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal branded him a “murderer” and “killer” during an election meeting and sought registration of an FIR.
• Ajmal had reportedly said a woman, Mumtaz Begum, was “either pushed back across the border or killed in an encounter” and linked the incident to Sharma’s tenure as a district commissioner.
• Police confirmed they have received Sharma’s complaint and are investigating while he has also urged the Election Commission to bar Ajmal from campaign events and to order social‑media takedowns of recordings.
• The dispute builds on earlier legal steps: a Foreigners Tribunal had declared Mumtaz a foreign national and the Gauhati High Court later directed interim compensation after finding procedural lapses in her removal.
• The case sharpens communal and electoral tensions in Nagaon, could trigger criminal defamation and election‑law action, and leaves families and voters awaiting clearer judicial findings on the contested removals.
