Guwahati: Assam Congress MP Rakibul Hussain has lodged an FIR at Dhubri Sadar Police Station from New Delhi after receiving multiple death threats on social media.
The complaint was filed on Monday against Ansar Ali, son of Mostofa Ali, a resident of Sonakhuli village in Dhubri district.
Expressing concern, Hussain stated, “The government is sheltering miscreants involved in previous attacks. The attacker is still roaming free on anticipatory bail under the open sky. Now, once again, I have received a death threat from Dhubri.”
The Lok Sabha MP said that he had already informed the Lok Sabha Speaker about the matter and officially lodged the FIR via email from Delhi to the Dhubri Sadar Police Station.
According to Hussain, the first threat was made on January 4, 2025, during a Facebook Live session, where the accused allegedly commented, “Tumi Dhubri te balkoi guriba nohole tumak guli kori mari rastai falaya rakmu aru kutta diya khilamu” (You will not be spared in Dhubri; we will shoot you, kill you, and leave your body on the road for dogs to eat).
On March 16, 2025, Ali allegedly wrote, “Agor bar tumi basi goisa aiba tumi direct murder korim” (Last time you escaped, but this time you will be murdered directly). Another comment from the accused read, “You will be attacked again. This time we will shoot you. BJP has given us permission to murder you. This time you will die.”
Earlier in February 2025, Hussain was attacked by miscreants at Natun Bazar in Rupahihat while on his way to attend a Congress workers’ meeting in Gunabari.
As per reports, a group of individuals with their faces covered in black cloth waved black flags at the MP before launching the attack. The miscreants also assaulted his bodyguard.
Following the incident, Assam Police identified 10 individuals allegedly involved in the attack on Congress MP Rakibul Hussain in Nagaon on February 20.
