Eleven people, including nine security personnel, were today injured when a protest against alleged rape of three women by armymen in Assam's Karbi Anglong area turned violent with the protestors pelting stones at police prompting them to open fire.
Karbi Anglong Superintendent of Police M J Mahanta said a mob of about 3,000 people gheraoed Dokmoka police station during the day demanding immediate arrest of armymen allegedly behind the rape of a woman and two young girls in the district and started pelting stones at security personnel posted there.

The mob, which also alleged inaction by the police, injured five policemen and four army personnel, Mahanta told PTI.

The security personnel resorted to lathicharge to disperse the mob, but when they refused to leave the area police opened fire in which two protestors were injured, he said.

A complaint had been lodged at the police station on April 8 alleging that some personnel of 8 Jat Regiment during search operations had raped the three on April 6 at Parkopahar area.
Mahanta said the case was under investigation and the army personnel accused of the alleged rape have denied their involvement to the police.

Several social and political organisations had yesterday submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh through the Deputy Commissioner demanding immediate arrest of the army personnel allegedly involved in the incident within 24 hours and withdrawal of army from the area.

Senior police and civil officials have rushed to the spot as the situation in the area remained tense but under control, official sources said.

Meanwhile, several organisations of the district have jointly called a 24-hour Karbi Anglong bandh tomorrow to protest against the incident.

India needs to repeal black laws like AFSPA which protects security personnel from public prosecution according to law of land.

The investigation needs to be fair and without prejudice. The Indian army is not immune from legal procedures of the country and they are accountable to the Indian constitution. If they are guilty they should be punished.

Repealing AFSPA in conflict states will mean that terrorists and their supporters will get a free hand. Please remember that like the common law, there are some abusers wrong in the Army as well who get punished by the tribunal. Repealing a key shield for our soldiers and trusting anti-national elements would be too dangerous.

AFSPA is badly needed in J&K and from the looks of it even in WB. They can remove it from Manipur though.

AFSPA cannot have any place in a democracy. In a military state you can have all the AFSPA you want.

More innocent people bear brunt of AFSPA then the terrorists. A democracy cannot permit its forces to arrest, shoot and kill people without judicial authorisation and immunity from legal charges. If AFSPA is so good then why not apply AFSPA in maoist hit areas?

AFSPA is not a solution to terrorism. It instils fear in people and proves counter-productive, Insurgency is a political problem not a military one.

Democracy doesn't mean arse-kissing terrorism. AFSPA is the only thing that keeps our soldiers safe from false allegations and terrorists. There are some who abuse wrongly and these armymen get punished. But most allegations by the occupants of the valley are lies.

You can have your democracy is all normal states of the country. But those suffering from terrorism is a big no-no. It is a necessary devil man.

It is easy to sit in a peaceful city inside your house and talk about AFSPA. Be a soldier once in these conflict zones then you'll know what it takes.

Democracy means a government of the people where the people wield power. If you have problems with a democracy and how a democracy works then feel free to migrate to China.

AFSPA is nothing but a blot on democracy.

There is no such thing as necessary devil or evil. All states of India are Indian states and normal unless you are trying to call India itself as abnormal. Government policies and pro-people measures are needed to tackle the root cause of terrorism. Not black laws like AFSPA.

If the soldier is so scared about his safety then he should not enroll in the army in the first place. And stop calling your own country as a conflict-zone.
