Guwahati: A man from Tamulpur in Assam has accused the district police of harassing him on accusation of him being linked to the ULFA.

The man is from Gandhibari village in Tamulpur district and was identified as Jayanta Deka.

He claimed that the Tamulpur police harassed him on the pretext of being linked to the banned outfit ULFA. Deka took to social media to share his ordeal, posting videos that have since gone viral.

In his videos, Deka has also levelled serious allegations of corruption against the police at Gandhibari police station, accusing them of involvement in illegal activities such as dice games, wood mills, and chakri games.
