Police Fire Shots in Dibrugarh Cattle Theft Standoff

In a village in Assam, India, people were worried because thieves had been stealing cows and goats for over a week.

So, some young villagers decided to stay up all night to watch for thieves.

Early in the morning, they saw a suspicious car and stopped it.

The people inside called the police, but the villagers say the police let the suspects go without asking any questions.

This made the villagers very angry, and they started protesting.

The police then fired shots in the air to make the crowd go away.

The villagers are upset because they feel the police are not doing enough to stop the thefts.
