Earlier this year, a person was injured after being shot at by unidentified miscreants during an attempted heist in Assam’s Dhekiajuli. 

The incident took place at Mitham in Dhekiajuli in the Sonitpur district wherein a gang of miscreants arrived and shot at the owner of a jewellery shop with an objective to loot him. 

The victim man was identified as Nirbhas Karmakar. He sustained bullet wounds to his hand in the firing incident. Following the shooting, he was rushed to Tezpur Medical College and Hospital (TMCH) for medical treatment.

However, it is unclear whether the miscreants were successful in the armed robbery attempt.
