A 30-year-old man in Assam's Cachar district died after being allegedly beaten by a few Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, PTI reported.
The incident took place on Friday night near the India-Bangladesh border in Katigorah, while the man succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, an official told PTI.
Locals staged a protest in front of the local Circle Office on Sunday to demand strict action against the accused.
"An allegation against BSF was raised that a youth, identified as Nirmol Namasudra, of Amtoli village in the border area, died on Saturday after being severely beaten up by a few BSF jawans a day ago. The BSF personnel took him to a local hospital on Friday night," an official told PTI.
The man was admitted to Silchar Medical College and Hospital following serious injuries but later died there.
"Although the administration took some steps to control the situation in Katigorah, tension prevailed with locals assembling at the Circle Office and demanding the arrest of the BSF personnel," the official said.
He added that no complaint has been filed by the family of the deceased and no case has been registered yet.
The Border Security Force could not be reached for comment on the allegation.
