Terming an inquiry ordered by the government as "inadequate", Saikia demanded a judicial inquiry.
The Congress leader said that firing, use of teargas shells and lathi-charge by police had become frequent in the past several months and cited killing of one person in police firing in Goalpara on June 30, 2017 and the lathi-charge on college students in Margherita on September 19, 2017 as well as a similar action against peaceful protesters in Golaghat on December 19, 2017.
Saikia said a belligerent policy adopted by state police was creating concern and outrage among Assam residents.
