ABMSU Protests Demand Justice and Transparency in Lafiqul Islam Ahmed Murder Case
Protests erupted across the Bodoland Territorial Region as the All Bodo Minority Students' Union (ABMSU) demanded justice in the 2017 murder of its former president, Lafiqul Islam Ahmed. The ABMSU criticized the lack of transparency regarding arrests, questioning the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) handling of the case and the release of one accused on bail. Demonstrators called for the arrest of remaining absconding suspects and urged timely trial proceedings, warning of intensified protests if progress stalls.
