The State police killed a total of 51 people and injured 139 others since May 2021, the Assam government has said in its affidavit to the Gauhati High Court.
The affidavit was in connection with a PIL (public interest litigation) petition on fake encounters that came up for hearing on June 21. The case was listed for another hearing on July 29 as the government had filed the affidavit too late for the judges to read.
