Silchar, May 15 (PTI) Two police personnel were injured in an attack by a family which was allegedly involved in cattle smuggling in Assam’s Cachar district, police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Acting on a tip-off, a police team went to a village in the Gumrah police station area near the India-Bangladesh border on Tuesday to nab a suspected cattle smuggler when his family members attacked them with sharp weapons.<\/p>\n
“The team went to the house of Abdul Wahid (Pakhi Miya), a suspected cattle smuggler, where his family members attacked the police personnel with sharp weapons,” an officer said.<\/p>\n
The injured police personnel, Sub Inspector Chandam Patowari and Constable Karabi Das, were sent to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) with deep wounds, he said.<\/p>\n
The duo had to undergo surgery and received multiple stitches.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, police detained Abdul Wahid, his wife Abida Begum, daughter Kulasma Begum and son Rohit Ahmed Barbhuyan.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, they were arrested on the charge of attempted murder, and a case was registered against them in Gumrah Police Station under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the police officer said.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, a 15-member team of smugglers from Bangladesh had come to buy the cattle, including cows and buffaloes. On seeing the police, they fled, the officer said.<\/p>\n
Assam’s Barak Valley, comprising the three districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi share a large border with Bangladesh, with most of it secured by a fence. Some parts are still unfenced, he said.<\/p>\n
Smugglers try to use those areas for smuggling cattle, drugs and other products, the police officer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
