Guwahati: A shooting incident that took place in the Assam’s Dhemaji district on Monday morning resulted in at least two fatalities and two injuries.
The incident was reported in the Dhemaji district’s Panbari area, which is located along the Assam-Arunachal border.

There has been no official confirmation of the claim that the attack was carried out by miscreants from Arunachal Pradesh, despite information to the contrary.

The deceased are Boga Chutia and Monitu Gogoi.

The district administration and local police have arrived on the scene and have started an investigation into the occurrence.
Informing the same, state education minister Ranoj Pegu wrote on Twitter, “I strongly condemn the act of violence at the Panbari area of the Asam-Arunachal border in Dhemaji, where one person named Boga Chutia of Borbila Chutiakari village of my constituency has been killed, and 3 persons – Monitu Gogoi, Puspa Gogoi and Akoni Gohain of Milonpur village have been injured. District Admin and @DhemajiPolice are on the spot.
Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, batted down the idea that the attack may have been carried out by criminal Arunachalis by claiming that local residents were engaged in a dispute over land.

He declared that the police will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the occurrence with the assistance of the district administration.

More information is awaited.
