Guwahati: The Assam Police Saturday filed a 844-page charge sheet against 48 people in the sensational mob lynching case of two youths in Karbi Anglong district.
"It is a major achievement by the Assam Police that we could file the charge sheet within 90 days. It is filed against 48 persons accused of lynching two youths at Dokmoka in Karbi Anglong on June 8," Assam DGP Kuladhar Saikia said at a press conference here.
On June 8, two friends -- Nilotpal Das (29) and Abhijeet Nath (30)-- had gone to a picnic spot at Kangthilangso waterfalls under Dokmoka police station in Karbi Anglong. While returning, their car was stopped at Panjuri Kachari by a group of irate villagers, on rumours of being child-lifters. While Das, a local, was a sound engineer settled in Mumbai, Nath was a businessman from Guwahati.
The villagers attacked their vehicle, pulled the two youths out and bludgeoned them to death even as the duo pleaded to let them go, according to videos circulated through social media.
