Assam Police DSP Anjan Bora was reportedly suspended following hateful comments against Muslims on Facebook.

As per reports, Bora vowed to stop the Muslim prayer call, the Azan and also claimed to have killed many from the minority community. The matter came to light after a local lawyer reportedly posted the images on his Facebook account which were then shared widely. He later reported the matter to authorities which led to his suspension.

Bora’s remarks allegedly led to protests in the northeastern states.

His anti-Muslim posts have however, garnered support despite his suspension.
