Karimganj\/ Hailakandi, Jan 9 (PTI) Prohibitory orders were on Monday clamped on Lowairpua Bazar area of Assam’s Karimganj district, where tension erupted following the killing of a 16-year-old Bajrang Dal activist a day ago.<\/p>\n
One person has been arrested in connection with the murder, a police officer said.<\/p>\n
Sambhu Koiri was attacked and killed by unidentified miscreants in Lowairpua area on Sunday evening as he was returning to Karimganj after attending a three-day training camp of Bajrang Dal in neighbouring Hailakandi district, the officer said.<\/p>\n
“Koiri was attacked with sharp weapons. Local people had immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital, but the doctors there declared him dead on arrival,” the officer said.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the incident, locals had gheraoed the Bazaricherra Police Station in the district, demanding arrest of the culprits. Additional forces were also deployed in the area, he added.<\/p>\n
The situation, however, continued to remain tense, with the additional district magistrate, Karimganj, imposing restrictions on the area under section 144 of the CrPC.<\/p>\n
The administration has also prohibited distribution of any leaflet, poster, and banner in Karimganj district, according to an official order.<\/p>\n
The restrictions will remain in force until further orders, the order added.<\/p>\n
