A group of Assam Rifles personnel in civvies reportedly assaulted eight villagers at Kangchup Chiru under Sapermeina police station in the wee hours today.
According to the villagers, the Assam Rifles personnel, who were around 10 in number, came in civvies and demanded that armed UGs allegedly hiding in the village be handed over to them.
When the villagers replied that no UGs have come to their village, the Assam Rifles personnel called them liars and started beating them up.
The villagers pointed out that the AR personnel, who came to their village last night belong the Kangchup post of 10 Assam Rifles.
