Silchar: A Block Development Officer was manhandled by a violent mob in Sonai in Cachar on Thursday afternoon. Sonai police had so far apprehended three persons. A no-confidence motion was brought to vote at Sonai Block development office on Thursday against the GP president of Swadhinbazar GP.

A group of seven members of the GP attended the voting ceremony. After the voting, a heated situation arose regarding the voting of one group member. The situation went out of control and a scuffle broke out in the office. Few people at that time also manhandled Sonai BDO Hussain Mohammad Mobin and official papers were also tried to be snatched from his hand. Few police officials on duty were also injured in the incident.

"The incident that happened yesterday at Sonai Dev block office is really unfortunate. This kind of things demoralize the honest officers who are working tirelessly for the development of the area. Vandalism of this kind not only leads to physical injury but also creates psychological impact in the minds of general public and the staff," BDO Hussain Mohammad said. He informed that the incident has been informed to Cachar administration and further action will be followed after DC's direction.

Meanwhile, Sonai police have apprehended three accused persons Ekbal Ahmed Laskar, Zahir Ahmed Laskar and Tahir Ahamed Laskar for manhandling the BDO.
