Overview

  • Six individuals, including prominent Congress workers, remain in custody over the June 29 bottle attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s convoy in Golaghat.
  • Assam Police have launched a formal investigation and are examining CCTV footage to identify those who obstructed the official convoy.
  • The BJP has organized state-wide protests denouncing the attack as an assault on democratic values and calling for strict action.
  • Congress leaders have filed corruption complaints against a cabinet minister and are demanding a judicial probe into the Gir cow redistribution.
  • An RTI response revealed that only 210 of 300 Gir cows reached the Garukhuti project, with 90 redistributed due to inadequate infrastructure, raising questions about misuse of public property.
