At least two persons were killed while 22 policemen sustained injuries following an eviction drive in Kosutoli locality in the Sonapur area of the Kamrup district in Assam on Thursday.
However, resisting relocation, Harijan Panchayat Committee members claimed attempts were made to evict Sikh residents of Harijan Colony by roping in the local tribal chieftain in 1954 too.
In a landmark verdict, the court ruled that the couple would not be evicted from the old-age home till the disposal of a suit that was pending before the court of civil judge, with regard to the controversy.
