      Assam police killed a man, wrongly called him 'dacoit' Kenaram, finds CID probe: reports

      Weeks after Assam police claimed to have shot dead a dacoit named Kenaram, an inquiry has reportedly found that it was a case of "mistaken identity".

      A CID probe found that the deceased was not Kenaram, but a person named Dimbeswar, who was a "small farmer" according to his family.

      The encounter took place on 24 February 2023, and police claimed that 2 cops were also injured in the shootout.

      The dead body was initially handed over to Kenaram's family, but after the funeral, Dimbeswar's family raised objections. Amid the furore, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma ordered a CID probe which began on 2 March.
