Assam Leaders in Controversy: Viral Assault Video Sparks Outrage

In a shocking incident in Assam's Golaghat district, two young men were allegedly brutalized by three brothers, one of whom holds a key position in the BJP and another with the All Assam Students' Union (AASU). The assault surfaced in a viral video, igniting widespread condemnation.

The attack, involving inhumane measures such as using salt and chilli water, occurred in the Gelabil area of Sarupathar. The victims were accused of theft, but the ensuing brutality has dominated headlines and social media, prompting the BJP and AASU to dismiss the involved leaders from their duties.

Currently evading the authorities, the accused—Raju Shreshtha, Shasanka Shreshtha, and Ranjit Shreshtha—are being pursued by the police. Meanwhile, the injured youths are receiving medical treatment. The incident has sparked a debate on the responsible use of power by political leaders.
