Outrage Unleashed: Assam Police Under Fire for Alleged Extra-Judicial Killings of 3 Hmars
Mizoram: Hmar Inpui Condemns Assam Police for Extra-Judicial Killings
In a shocking development, Hmar Inpui, a prominent community organization, has expressed profound outrage over the alleged extra-judicial killings of three Hmar individuals by the Assam Police. According to a statement released by the organization, Lallungawi Hmar, Lalbiekkung Hmar, and Joshua Lalringsan were allegedly arrested by Assam Police on July 16, 2024, on Kabuganj-Amjur Road, under the jurisdiction of Kachudharam Police Station, Cachar, Assam.
The arrests were reportedly recorded on video, with footage circulating widely on social media platforms. Within 24 hours of their apprehension, the three individuals were allegedly killed in what the Assam Police described as an "encounter." Hmar Inpui decried these killings as cold-blooded murders and characterized them as a flagrant violation of human rights.
The organization condemned the Assam Police’s characterization of the incident as a shootout, deeming it a gross abuse of power and a stark indication of the failing criminal justice system in Assam. They called for immediate action against those responsible and demanded a thorough investigation into these unlawful acts.
This distressing incident has raised significant concerns about police conduct and the state of human rights in the region, drawing attention from human rights groups and the general public alike. The Hmar Inpui’s strong denunciation highlights a growing discontent with the legal and law enforcement mechanisms in Assam, calling into question the very principles of justice and human dignity in the state.
As this tragic situation continues to unfold, it warrants close scrutiny and a rigorous inquiry to ensure that justice is served, and such incidents do not recur.
