The New Indian Express Kottayam
|June 02, 2026
A jilted lover in Assam died in police firing on Monday after he allegedly snatched the service rifle of a policeman and opened fire at cops to escape from police custody.
The deceased, Ashik Ali alias Roj, was grievously injured in the firing and succumbed to his injuries later. The incident comes a day after Ali had allegedly attacked a 17-year-old girl, Mridumudra Deka, and her cousin Madhurjya Barman (20) with a machete at Gangapur in the Mukalmua area of lower Assam’s Nalbari district on Sunday evening, when the two were returning home from somewhere.
