Haflong  : Prompt and judicious action by the Dima Hasao Police and Territorial Army based at Mahur Railway Station saved life of three Sadhus, who were visiting various religious temples of Assam including Kamakshya Temple from so called mob lynching at Mahur in Dima Hasao, Assam on Thursday.

Story goes like these three sadhus from UP after visiting Kamakshaya Shrine at Guwahati were going to Tripura to visit Tripura Sundari temple through the N H 54 E by a car. Yesterday night they reached Mahur and their vehicle had gone out of order and spent the night in the car. In the morning, people of Block area near Mahur Station found them. As a story of ‘child lifter’ moving round in social media people of Mahur suspected to be child lifter and tried to cause harm by pelting of stones. Seeing the incident, the jawans of TA who were on duty rushed and saved all the three Sadhus from being hurt and the police was informed. The Haflong Police headed by Additional SP (HQ) Pushparaj Sing, Additional SP (security) Prasanta Dutta SDPO, Maibang and Assistant Commissioner Rahul Doley immediately reached Mahur and hold discussion with the prominent persons of Mahur and convinced them about the fact that they were real sadhus not the child lifter.

Meanwhile the Additional SP Pusparaj Sing appealed to the people of Dima Hasao not to be misled by unconfirmed news in some social medias rather try to contact police in any such confusion. He also requested the people not to take law in their hand.

Arijit Kemprai, All Dimasa Students Union leader also requested the people of every community not to believe such unfounded rumors but to be vigil so that no such unfortunate incident happen in the district.
