The Charaideo police in Assam arrested two members of the Tai Ahom Yuva Parishad (TAIPA) on charges related to the distribution of inflammatory posters targeting the Miya-Muslim community in Upper Assam. 

The individuals detained include Bijoy Rajkonwar, the Central President of TAIPA, and Partho Rajkonwar, the Assistant Secretary of the organization's Charaideo district unit.
