Automatic weapons, including light machine guns, were used by the Mizoram Police in the attack, the Assam government alleged.
The injured included Assam’s Cachar Superintendent of Police Nimbalkar Vaibhav Chandrakant and the officer-in-charge of a police station in the district.
Ironically, while Assam has a BJP government, the ruling party in Mizoram is an NDA ally.
“Clear evidences are now beginning to emerge that unfortunately show that Mizoram Police has used Light Machine guns (LMg) against personnel of @assampolice,” tweeted a horrified Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma later in the day.
The incident came amidst a fortnight-long eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between the two police forces and two days after the CMs of the two states discussed the issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Meghalaya capital Shillong.
Shah spoke to the two CMs on Monday and asked them to peacefully resolve the issue. Following his intervention, the Assam Police withdrew from the site. The CRPF is now manning the area.
