On September 23rd. two residents of Dhalpur were killed by police firing during an eviction drive targetting a minority muslim community in Assam. One of them, Maynal Haque, was protesting against the evictions but 12-year-old teenager Shaikh Farid had nothing to do with the protests. The entire community is homeless now, some mourning the loss of their loved ones.
In CJP’s endeavour to bring justice to those who were rendered homeless and to those who lost their family members, we filed two writ petitions in Gauhati HC. Now, the court has issued notices to the state government of Assam asking it to respond.
