Imphal, January 03 2021:
The officer commanding and troops of Assam Rifles exercised restraint and ensured safety of civilians in face of grave provocation even at the cost of their personal safety when an unruly mob led by certain villagers with vested interests demanding release of the three individuals accused of harbouring an alleged insurgent who was apprehended with two M-16 rifles and ammunition, had tried to cause unwarranted violence at S Sejol COB of Assam Rifles in Churachandpur district on December 29, 2020 .
Inspite of grave provocation and unruly behaviour, Assam Rifles handled the violent mob in a very mature and professional manner, said a statement issued by PRO Assam Rifles.
A FIR was lodged against the provocateurs at Henglep Police Station on December 30, added the statement.
The restraint and maturity shown by security forces not only ensured peace and harmony but also ensured that it lives upto the title of 'Sentinels of the North-East', further added the statement.
