Udalguri/Kokrajhar (Assam): The NDFB's killing spree continued for the second day on Saturday as they gunned down two persons and injured four others in two districts, police said.

A group of armed ultras belonging to NDFB's anti-talk Song Bijit group raided Sakuwaserfung in Bijni subdivision of Chirang district at around 7:30 PM and fired indiscriminately, killing a 50-year-old man and injuring four persons, including two women, the sources said.

The ultras had asked the eight passengers from Bihar to come out of the bus, lined them up and rained a volley of fire on them. They had then asked the inter-state bus to proceed on its journey.
