A man accused of inciting a mob to set a police station on fire in the Nagaon district of Assam last week, was killed this morning while trying to escape from the police custody.

Batadrava Violence: A terror group may have engineered the mob attack on a police station in Assam, allegedly over a custodial case, the state police said today.

The mob attack on a police station in Assam yesterday, allegedly over a custodial death, was not an "action-reaction incident" but was carried out by criminals to destroy case records, state police chief Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta said today.
