Security forces of Assam-Mizoram fatally clashed on July 26 on the inter-state border resulting in the death of six policemen and one civilian.

The border dispute is going on for decades but the clash flared up on July 26 over an alleged construction by Mizoram in the disputed 198-square-mile stretch on the inter-state border – Lailapur in Cachar district of southern Assam and Vairengte in Kolasib district of northern Mizoram.

Over 60 people, security personnel and locals, sustained severe injuries as the police forces of both States clashed at Lailapur in Cachar district. 

Chandrakanta, who was then the Cachar Superintendent of Police, received bullet injuries in the violent border clashes and is currently undergoing treatment in Maharashtra. 

On the other hand, Bey, who was then posted as a home guard, had refused a huge bribe amount from drug dealers and helped recover drugs worth Rs 12 crore in Karbi Anglong. He was later appointed as a constable in Assam Police for his exemplary role in the recovery of contraband.
