On Thursday, poll-related violence in Assam, India, resulted in injuries to around 30 individuals, with two in serious condition requiring hospitalization at Karimganj Civil Hospital. The unrest began when Congress candidate Kartik Sena Sinha allegedly confronted the presiding officer at a polling booth in Patharkandi constituency, claiming that fake electors were casting votes. This led to a physical altercation between supporters of the Congress and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Seven people were arrested in connection with the violence. In Dibrugarh district, clashes also erupted involving leaders of the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and BJP supporters, resulting in injuries to three AJP leaders. Minor skirmishes were reported at various polling stations due to heavy crowds, with police managing to control the situations swiftly. Inspector General of Police Akhilesh Kumar Singh noted that violence had also occurred in Tamulpur and Sivasagar before polling began, with police taking measures to disperse mobs and detaining several individuals. The overall situation is reportedly under control with increased security presence.
