The incident reportedly took place on the evening of June 27 in the vicinity of Dholeshwari point in Hailakandi, Assam. Choudhury was accused of causing damage to a vehicle and engaging in a physical confrontation with Ataur Rahman Laskar, a member of the opposing BJP party.
Laskar subsequently filed a complaint against Choudhury, along with three other individuals identified as Guljar Hussain Talukdar, Naseem Ahmed Choudhury, and Sultan Ahmed Choudhury. The complaint alleged that Choudhury and his associates had vandalised Laskar’s vehicle and made several hostile attempts on his life.
In the complaint, it was stated that Choudhury and his companions forcibly halted Laskar’s private car, using sticks and rods to launch a violent assault. The incident resulted in significant damage to Laskar’s vehicle.
In an attempt to evade further harm, Laskar sought refuge at the Katakhal Outpost. However, the accused pursued him relentlessly in a vehicle, with registration number AS-11-L-0786, ultimately gaining entry into the outpost. Once inside, they continued their attack on Laskar, inflicting severe injuries, including knife wounds to his head and other parts of his body.
Fortunately, the situation was brought under control due to the timely intervention of on-duty police officers. Aside from the physical assault, Laskar also reported that the accused forcibly robbed him of his gold chain and a sum of Rs 10,000 in cash.
Following the filing of the complaint, the local police took immediate action and apprehended Nizam Uddin Choudhury, the AIUDF party member. The court granted him bail after six days of detention, on Tuesday. Legal proceedings will continue in accordance with the law
