The authorities in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh district used excavators to demolish the house of a man accused of driving an animal rights activist to suicide.
Officials on Tuesday said the accused, Baidulla Khan, had constructed the house illegally and violated safety norms.
“He neither obtained permission for construction nor were safety norms followed. The power lines almost touched the house built very close to the PWD road without maintaining a mandatory 12 feet gap between the house and the road,” district’s deputy commissioner Biswajit Pegu said.
