A fierce face-off turned into a clash with sticks between the police and the locals during an anti-encroachment drive in Assam's Darrang district today. Nine policemen and two civilians are said to be injured in the clash, during which the policemen even opened fire. A video from the site shows a man with a stick charging towards the policemen - in riot gear and armed with sticks and guns - being overpowered and brutally thrashed. The blows don't stop even as he lies motionless on the ground.
