Silchar (Assam), Nov. 4 (PTI): Two unidentified men, who were assaulted by a mob at Assam’s Cachar district after they were found carrying arms and ammunition, have succumbed to injuries, a police officer said on Sunday.
The men, suspected to be militants, were rescued by the police on Saturday evening and taken into custody from a bus stop at Harinagar in Lakhipur sub-division of the district, he said. They were then admitted to Silchar Medical College Hospital in a serious condition.
“As the two men are yet to be identified, we could not inform their family members. They were badly beaten up by the mob at the bus stop and were taken to the hospital in a critical condition,” the officer said, adding that the duo succumbed to the injuries on Saturday night.
