Margherita, Mar 22: A late-night ambush in Upper Assam has left four Assam Police commandos injured, triggering fresh alarm over security in the region.

The attack unfolded around 2 am on Sunday at a police commando camp at Jagun 10 Mile in Tinsukia district, when unidentified miscreants struck with precision and force.

The injured have been identified as Chitranjan Mili and Debashis Bora from Jorhat, Ravi Garh from Chabua, and Jambuch Marak from Goalpara. All four are currently undergoing treatment.
