after more than 45 days.
It should be noted that Shrinkhal Chaliha was re-arrested under NSA on
May 3, just hours after being released on bail in an extortion case.
Chaliha informed the
reporters following his re-arrest, "I was granted bail by the court after
the prosecutor couldn't provide any evidence against me." Some top
officials came to the jail last night and plotted against me. I was arrested
again today. This is a "democracy murder." This government serves the
non-Assamese people."
Chaliha
was earlier detained in Sivasagar in an extortion and businessman abuse case
and released on bail. The Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Sivasagar granted
his bail application.
