Assam polls: Election violence erupts in Dibrugarh's Khowang, several injured in AJP-BJP clash

Violence disrupted polling in the Khowang constituency of Dibrugarh district, Assam today, April 9 as supporters of the Asom Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clashed amid the ongoing polls.

The incident occurred near the residence of local MLA Chakradhar Gogoi. BJP leaders alleged that a group linked to AJP attacked their workers at a nearby house. Several people sustained injuries, including BJP's Jharkhand in-charge Prahlad Pandey.

In response, BJP supporters blocked the four-lane national highway to protest the attack and demand the arrest of those responsible. The blockade caused traffic disruptions in the area.

Senior police officials arrived at the site and worked to restore order. The situation remains tense as investigations continue.
