A day after Congress MP Rakibul Hussain and his PSOs were attacked by unidentified persons in Assam's Nagaon district, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said the police have identified the individuals involved in the alleged assault. He also posted the names of the individuals involved in the attack on Rakibul Hussain.
“The police have identified the individuals involved in the alleged incident of assault on Congress MP Sri Rakibul Hussain,” Himanta Biswa Sarma posted. On Thursday, Rakibul Hussain was attacked by a group of people with cricket bats in Assam's Nagaon district while he was on a two-wheeler headed to attend a party meeting at Gunomari village under Rupohi police station.
The attackers had covered their faces with a black cloth and were shouting slogans against the MP. The Congress leader's personal security officers (PSOs) attempted to protect Rakibul Hussain by opening fire but were attacked by the mob as well.
