Digital Desk: A disturbing incident of pre-election violence has been reported from the Sadiya assembly constituency in Kakopathar, Tinsukia.
In the early hours of the morning, unidentified miscreants allegedly poured petrol and set fire to a four-wheeler and a granary belonging to a local resident, Sanjay Gowala.
Gowala family, residing in No. 3 Kakopathar, narrowly escaped the blaze with their lives.
The family suspects that the arson was a targeted attack due to their political affiliations.
