Assam Police have arrested nine people in connection with the violent protests in Baksa district that erupted this week during the transfer of accused individuals in the Zubeen Garg death case.

The protests began near the Baksa district jail on Wednesday after a court in Guwahati remanded five of the accused to judicial custody. Protesters violently demonstrated as the five were brought to the facility. They hurled stones at the vehicles carrying the accused and torched multiple other vehicles.

To quell the situation, police used a baton-charge and fired tear gas shells.
