A day after the police baton-charged and fired tear gas shells to disperse a mob that attacked the convoy carrying the five arrested people in connection with singer Zubeen Garg’s death, the situation in the violence-hit area of Assam’s Baksa district was ‘‘under control’‘ on Thursday (October 16, 2025), an officer said.
The mob set ablaze some vehicles and hurled stones at the convoy when the accused were being brought to Baksa District Jail.
