The Assam government has paid 25 lakh rupees as monetary relief to the next of kin of five men killed in a fake encounter on the 20th of June 2009 in the state. The victims Allauddin, Sahjamal Hoque, Promtone Sangma, Jahangir and Salim Khan were killed in a joint operation by Assam Police, Army and CRPF at Dohikata Kadaldhowa reserve forest in the state. The state government paid the monetary relief after complying with the recommendations of the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC. The Commission, on the basis of the inquest, post-mortem, magisterial inquiry reports and other material on record had observed that the incident was an execution, not an encounter.
