30 Years After: Assam Families Receive Compensation for Fake Encounter

Thirty years after five youths were allegedly killed in a fake encounter by the army in Assam, the victims' families have been compensated ₹20 lakh each following a court order. Despite an initial military court and CBI findings of guilt, the accused army personnel were later acquitted. Families claim justice remains incomplete.

Thirty years after five youths were killed in an alleged fake encounter in Assam, the court has directed compensation of Rs 20 lakh each to the victims' families, concluding a long legal fight.

Seven army personnel, including a Major General and two Colonels, initially found guilty by a military court and CBI, evaded punishment following a revised Court Martial verdict.

Families of the deceased protest the acquittal and monetary settlement, claiming the decision lacks true justice, while questioning the army's process and transparency.
