jeep. But for the armymen who are now in a mad rage of revenge ever since an army truck was blown up kilting six jawans on April 11 at Sonkuria village in Nalbari district, wiser counsel hardly matters. For them every 'Asamia' (read Assamese) is now a militant conspiring to disintegrate 'their' mother India and 'they' have to stop it, come what may, So, immediately after noticing the speeding jeep, the army one-tonner turned back and the army personnel opened fire immediately without warning. The jeep was clearly out of their range and so the gunshots hit the car thus turning a marriage party into a mourning party. This is also borne out by trie message which the Mangaldoi police station sent to the authorities of the Guwahati veterinary college stating that one of their students, Sona Rai had been shot dead by the army.
