Situation got tensed in Kalain after police officials allegedly attacked a young local resident.

As per the locals, Suhail Ahmed was on his way to work from his home while police officials stopped his bike. “Though he was wearing a mask, the SSP started beating him mercilessly with his stick. After a while, he fell down on the ground and Police started kicking him. Few of us rushed to the spot and found that he is lying down unconcious,” said a relative of Suhail.

In an unconcious condition Suhail was rushed to the Kalain hospital where the doctors referred to Silchar Medical College and Hospital for better treatment. “He is still unconcious and his condition is critical,” added the relative.

Meanwhile, irked locals started agitating on the spot. With demand for SP’s intervention, the locals blocked Silchar-Guwahati road.

“We want the SP to intervene and order an inquiry and take action against the police official who mercilessly attacked the civilian,” said an agitating local.

However, police intervened and the blockade was uprooted. As per latest information, vehicles are plying on the road.
