    Meanwhile, the Assam Police also summoned Mizoram's lone Rajya Sabha MP, K Vanlalvena over misleading statements made in an interview after the violent Monday clashes. He reportedly issued a public death threat to Assam policemen, saying, "They are lucky...we didn't kill them all. If they come again, we shall kill them all."

    Earlier on Friday, at a joint all-party meeting of lawmakers from Assam's Barak Valley, a resolution was reportedly taken to move the court against Kolasib SP Ralte for "the barbaric act" on Monday in which six Assam Police personnel were killed. They said action should also be taken against Vanlalvena for his "unpardonable statement." Guardian Minister for Cachar, Ashok Singhal, chaired the all-party meeting.

    Tensions along interstate border have been escalating for a year

    The border dispute is a long-pending issue between Assam and Mizoram, which have accused each other of encroaching on their land. They share a 164.6km-long border between Assam's Cachar, Hailakandi, and Karimganj districts and Mizoram's Kolasib, Mamit, and Aizawl districts. Tensions along the border have been escalating for a year, but Monday's incident—in which six Assam policemen and a civilian died—was the most violent.
