Assam: OC transferred, 5 cops suspended over alleged custodial assault


Five personnel from the Bordumsa Police Station in Assam’s Tinsukia district were suspended on Sunday, while the officer-in-charge (OC) was transferred.

The action was prompted after a local man who reportedly had an altercation with police during Friday’s panchayat election polling was allegedly taken into custody and assaulted the following night.
