Assam Cops Mistook Farmer For Dacoit, Shot Him Dead

A probe into the death of a person, suspected to be a dacoit, in a police encounter in Assam’s Udalguri district confirmed that it was a case of “mistaken identity”.

The CID probe concluded that the person killed in the shootout was not dacoit Kenaram Boro (also known as Kenaram Basumatary) but a person identified as Dimbeswar Muchahary, who his family asserted was a “small-time farmer”. The police, however, claimed he was also a “hardened criminal”.
