Print and TV media in Assam gave no space to those being evicted.

On September 23, a video clip from Assam went viral. It shows a man clad in lungi and vest carrying a stick chasing behind a fleeing policeman who runs to join a larger group of his colleagues. Immediately the man with the stick is shot at by the police and falls to the ground, after which he is set upon by a number of policemen who proceed to smash his prone form with sticks. Then another man, a photographer, jumps on the now dead person’s body and begins to stomp on his chest, which was red with a bullet wound.

The incident had occurred in a village in the vicinity of Sipajhar, approximately 60 km from Guwahati, during the course of an eviction drive.

The people being evicted were almost all Muslims of East Bengal origin who are called Miyas in Assam. While the term in its original meaning is an honorific, the word in Assam has a largely negative connotation.
