Guwahati, Jan 11 : Three autorickshaws were damaged and window panes of several public buses plying on National Highway 37 broken by activists of the All Assam Tai Ahom Students’ Union during the 12-hour Sivasagar district bandh today.
The student body called the bandh in protest against the death of Harsajyoti Handique, Sivasagar unit president of the union, in police custody on Friday.
Tengapukhuri police arrested Handique on the basis of a complaint by dhaba owner Babul Baruah, a surrendered militant, over a clash with the hotel staff.
Offices and business establishments remained closed and few buses plied.
The officer-in-charge of Tengakhat police outpost, Umesh Chandra Mech, has been suspended. Baruah has been arrested.
