The Assam government has asked Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) R M Singh to enquire into a incident of assault of a youth by two others in the state capital.
"ADGP (law and order) RM Singh will enquire into the case of assault of a youth by some miscreants yesterday at Sadilapur of Garigaon area on the outskirts of Guwahati city," an official release said.
Singh will enquire into the case and submit a report to the Home and Political Department.
When contacted, Guwahati Senior Superintendent of Police Anand Prakash Tiwari told PTI that it was a fight between three teenaged youths of a locality over a trivial issue.
"Some anti-social elements tried to give it a communal colour as the two parties were from different communities. However, police immediately took control of the situation and it is peaceful now," he added.
Tiwari said citizen committees and village defence parties are working in close tandem to restore complete normalcy in the area.
Three youths have been rounded up and they are being interrogated, he added.
Meanwhile, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital superintendent Ramen Talukdar said the youth from Sipajhar who sustained minor bruises would be discharged today.
