Guwahati/Aizawl, July 29 (TIWN) An Assam Police team, including CID officers, is going to Delhi to probe Mizoram's Rajya Sabha member K. Vanlalvena's alleged role in the Monday's violence along the inter-state border, which left six Assam cops dead, officials said on Thursday.

A senior Assam Police official said that the decision to question Vanlalvena was taken following his "controversial interview to the electronic media in which he allegedly has warned the Assam police with objectionable words".  Contacted by IANS for a response, Vanlalvena said: "I do not have any comment now. I have not received any official information."  The most violent clashes along the Assam-Mizoram border left six Assam Police personnel dead and around 100 civilians and security personnel of the two neighbouring states injured, including an Inspector General of Police in Assam and Cachar Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Chandrakant Nimbalkar.  Assam Police's Special Director General G.P. Singh, in a tweet, said: "Assam police team including officers of CID are leaving for Delhi to take lawful action relating to conspiracy behind the incident in light of media interviews of Rajya Sabha MP Sri K Vanlalvena indicative of his active role in conspiracy."  In another tweet, he said that a case has been registered at the Dholai police station in Cachar district in the killing of Assam Police personnel, under various provisions of Indian Penal Code, and the Arms Act besides Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
