The Member of Parliament and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) candidate for the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat, S. K. Bwiswmuthiary, had a narrow escape when suspected National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militants tried to assassinate him in the Panijani forest area near Panbari village under Bogoribari Police Station in Kokrajhar District on April 24, according to Assam Tribune. His driver Suren Daimary and Personal Security Officer Munnaf Ali were killed on the spot while six others sustained injuries in the attack. Bwiswmuthiary, accompanied by a large number of BPF leaders and members, was proceeding towards Panbari where miscreants had set ablaze 11 houses of BPF supporters in the night of April 23, when the attackers, lying in wait in the area earlier, opened fire on them. Three vehicles that were part of Bwiswmuthiary’s convoy were also damaged in the attack. Later, talking to journalists Bwiswmuthiary alleged that the ‘pre-planned’ attack was the handiwork of NDFB militants, who were instigated by the Bodoland People’s Progressive Front (BPPF) candidate for the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat, U. G. Brahma, and BPPF president Rabiram Narzaree. However, Brahma and Narzaree refuted Bwiswmuthiary’s allegation and said the BPF leader was trying to draw political mileage from the incident and to malign the BPPF in public.
