Over 90 families evicted, several houses bulldozed in Assam's latest eviction drive
More than 90 families were displaced by an eviction drive in Assam's Nalbari district on Monday, the second such eviction exercise in the state this month. According to Nalbari Deputy Commissioner Nibedan Das Patowary, the eviction was carried out to clear encroachment on 453 bighas of village grazing reserve (VGR) land in the Barkhetri revenue circle. Ahead of the eviction, the district administration had issued prohibitory orders under section 163 of the BNSS in the Bakrikuchi Reserve, disallowing the assembly of more than five people. The order cited a 'likelihood of breach of peace and tranquility' there, and in nearby areas, and the need to prevent attempts to 'thwart the successful completion of the eviction drive'. On Monday morning, 12 bulldozers and over 500 police personnel arrived at the site to carry out the eviction. 'There was no untoward incident. There are 93 families living here, and there were 319 houses and other built structures here. Since this is VGR land, it is a policy of the Revenue Department to clear such government lands. When we told them to vacate the area earlier, they went to the Gauhati High Court, but did not get relief there. So now, we gave them seven days' notice to vacate the area, and most people vacated their homes themselves on Sunday,' DC Patowary told The Indian Express. The affected families are Bengali-origin Muslims. Like in the case of the eviction drive that took place two weeks earlier in Goalpara district, where over 600 families were evicted from a wetland area, the affected families said they had moved to the area after their previous settlement was lost to river erosion. 'We have been living here for 28-30 years. We moved here in the 1980s from other parts of Barkhetri itself, like the Bhanganmari, Kurihamari, and Bhelengimari panchayats after land was lost to erosion. We occupy only around 80 bighas of land and live bare lives here, with most people working as daily labourers on farms,' said Fakar Uddin Ahmed (40), whose home was demolished on Monday. Apprehending an eviction in 2016, residents of the area had approached the Gauhati High Court against it, submitting that they had been in possession of the land since 1981 and that they had settled there because of river erosion. However, on June 18, a Gauhati High Court Bench of Justice Sanjay Kumar Medhi did not allow an extension of the interim order protecting them from eviction, stating that this is 'in view of the clear stand of the State that the land in question is VGR land'.

Dark twist in love story: Kerala youth walks into police station with bones of newborns; unwed couple charged with murder
THRISSUR: Police on Sunday arrested a youth and a woman after the recovery of bones suspected to be of two newborns born to them. One of these newborns is believed to have been murdered. The crime came to light after the youth, Bavin, 25, of Nenmanikkara panchayat, walked into Pudukkad police station around 12:30 am carrying bones in a bag. Bavin told police that the bones were those of his children born to 23-year-old Aneesha of Mattathoor panchayat. The couple had exhumed the bones months after the bodies were buried to perform rituals, and Bavin kept them at his house. He went to police after a rift surfaced in his relationship with Aneesha. They were charged under various IPC and BNS sections for murder, concealing evidence, concealment of birth and abandoning a child, besides under the Juvenile Justice Act for wilfully neglecting the child. 'Girl says family was not aware of pregnancy' Police said Aneesha and Bavin came into contact on Facebook years ago, and he used to go to Chalakudy to meet her. On Nov 6, 2021, Aneesha gave birth to a boy in her bathroom. 'She says no one in her family was aware of her pregnancy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bring home all new SP125 & get an instant cashback up to ₹5000# Honda Learn More Undo She claims the baby died at birth when the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck, forcing her to bury the body on her house premises without anyone noticing. Eight months later, on Bavin's directives, she exhumed the bones and took them to his house, allegedly to perform rituals,' an officer said. According to police, she became pregnant again in 2024 and gave birth to a boy in her house on Aug 29. Fearing social stigma, she killed him the same day by covering his face with her hands and took the body in a bag to Bavin's house on a scooter the next day. Bavin buried the body in the compound of his house, where he lives with his mother, an ayurveda nurse, police said. 'Bavin exhumed the bones around four months later to perform rituals. He hid them in an almirah in his house. Later, a rift surfaced among the couple as Bavin suspected Aneesha of another relationship. He reached the police station on Sunday in an inebriated state,' the officer said. Police have registered two FIRs against the couple. They will exhume the bodies on Monday, besides questioning their family members to ascertain if the couple got support from others to kill the newborns and cover up the crime.
