Two Killed as Protests Turn Violent in Assam’s West Karbi Anglong, Internet Suspended
Dec 24, 2025At least two people were killed and several others, including police personnel, were injured after fresh violence erupted in Assam’s West Karbi Anglong district on Tuesday during protests against alleged encroachment by outsiders.
To control the situation and prevent the spread of misinformation, the Assam government suspended mobile internet services in Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong districts until further notice. Authorities clarified that voice calls and fixed-line broadband services will continue to function.
Police said the body of a 25-year-old differently abled man, Suresh Dey, was recovered from a building that was set on fire during the unrest, while another local resident, Chingthi Timung, died in clashes in the Kherani area.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed grief over the deaths and said he is closely monitoring the situation.
