Four people have been arrested for assaulting Shaukat Ali, an alleged beef seller, in northeastern Assam’s Biswanath Chariali on Sunday. The arrests were made based on a viral video, in which the man was force-fed what is said to be pork. “I have told the SP not to relent until all the troublemakers are caught. We will not tolerate people taking law into their hands,” said DGP Kuladhar Saikia.
District officials said a hunt was on to nab all the others involved in the incident that happened after a group of people “took action” against Mr Ali for selling meat at his eatery in a bi-weekly market on the outskirts of the town.
