The situation in Assam’s Baksa district has returned to normal two days after violent protests erupted over the shifting of five accused in singer Zubeen Garg’s death case to Baksa District Jail, an official said on Friday.
Internet and mobile data services, which were suspended following the unrest, have been restored with immediate effect as there is “no further apprehension of public unrest or breach of peace,” according to a notification issued by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Ajay Tewari.
Meanwhile, two persons have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the violence and instigating the local people in attacking the convoy while 15 others involved in the incident have been identified from video footage so far, the official said.
Security has been tightened in and around the jail, where the accused, including the late singer’s manager, cousin, and two personal security officers, have been lodged following a court order.
