Assam: Dacoit killed in police encounter; toll rises to 17
The dacoit was nabbed in Kharupetia in the Dalgaon Police Station area

A dacoit was killed in a police encounter when he attempted to escape from custody in Assam's Darrang district on Wednesday, a senior officer said. With the fresh encounter, a total of 17 accused people have been killed and 31 others injured in Assam as they allegedly attempted to escape from police custody since the Himanta Biswa Sarma government assumed office on May 10.

Incident
Dacoit attempted to escape by attacking a policeman: SP

The dacoit, who was the prime accused in several cases, was nabbed in Kharupetia in the Dalgaon Police Station area. While being taken to the police station, he attempted to escape by attacking a policeman, following which other law enforcers retaliated, leading to his death on the spot, Superintendent of Police Sushant Biswa Sarma said.

Information
The dacoit's body has been sent for post-mortem examination

The deceased was the prime accused in the murder of prominent advocate Binoy Kumar Ghosh (85), president of the Mangaldoi Chamber of Commerce and a key member of the district bar association, in 2014, SP said. The dacoit's body has been sent for post-mortem examination.

Details
Police under second BJP government indulging in open killings: Opposition

On August 8, a drug trafficker was killed and two others, including a police officer, injured in an encounter with a gang of drug dealers in Nagaon district. The unabated police encounters have led the opposition and a section of the civil society to accuse the police under the second BJP government in the state of indulging in "open killings."

Inquiry
Police have been given 'full operational liberty': CM

The chief minister had earlier said that the police have been given "full operational liberty" under the ambit of the law to fight criminals. The Assam Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has taken suo moto cognizance of the encounters and asked the state government on July 7 to institute an inquiry into the circumstances that led to the casualties in the police encounters.

Information
Earlier, New Delhi-based lawyer had filed complaint against Assam Police

Earlier, a New Delhi-based lawyer from Assam, Arif Jwadder, had filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) against the Assam Police for the series of encounters that have taken place under Sarma's rule.
