Guwahati’s Crime Branch has taken a woman into custody from the Golaghat district following accusations of making “controversial” and “anti-national” statements regarding the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, as confirmed by a police official.
Subsequently, the detained woman was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Golaghat police.
Golaghat Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajen Singh informed ANI that Dadhichi Dimple, also known as Dimple Baruah and a resident of Golaghat, Assam, was apprehended by the Crime Branch in Guwahati for her alleged remarks concerning the #PahalgamTerrorAttack. He further stated that she was then handed over to the Golaghat police, who proceeded to arrest her and bring her to the Golaghat police station.
The tragic incident in question occurred on April 22 in the Baisaran meadow of Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists.
Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has publicly defended the arrest of AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam, asserting its justification based on the legislator’s alleged pro-Pakistan sentiments.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday regarding the arrests of individuals expressing support for Pakistan, Chief Minister Sarma declared that several arrests have already been made, which is why Aminul Islam is currently incarcerated. He affirmed his commitment to continue such actions against those holding similar views.
Earlier, Chief Minister Sarma had shared detailed information about those arrested and reiterated his government’s firm stance against anyone supporting or defending Pakistan in connection with the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
In a post on X, he stated that Assam will not tolerate any individual who directly or indirectly supports or defends Pakistan concerning the heinous attack in Pahalgam. He listed the names of individuals arrested so far by the Assam Police from various districts, including Hailakandi, Silchar, Morigaon, Nagaon, and Sivasagar, for allegedly promoting the cause of Pakistan on social media. He also indicated that further arrests are part of their ongoing crackdown.
