Five Get Life Imprisonment For 2012 Ethnic Violence
In 2012, there was a big fight between two groups in Bodoland, India.
This fight caused over 100 deaths and many people had to leave their homes.
Recently, a special court decided that five people were guilty of attacking villagers during this fight, killing one person and hurting two others.
These five people were sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Two other people involved in the incident were not present: one is still missing, and the other died during the trial.
Five individuals received life imprisonment for their involvement in the 2012 Bodoland ethnic conflict.
The Special Designated Court of the CBI in Bongaigaon issued the sentences.
One accused is still missing, and another died during the trial.
The convictions stem from an armed attack on villagers that resulted in one death and two injuries.
