Dhubri, June 24 :    Dhubri, June 24:  The death of the foster son of an AGP MLA in an alleged encounter with security forces has kicked up a storm in the state. The Opposition has demanded a judicial probe into the incident. Police claimed that Kamal Barua, teenage son of Bilasipara East constituency MLA Prasanta Kumar Barua, was shot dead in an 'encounter' with security forces on Thursday in Daokibari under the Salkocha police station. Kamal was an active member of the banned National Democratic Front of Boroland. However, the MLA denied that Kamal, a higher secondary student of the Swadeshi Academy, had links with any militants. Villagers of Thurubari, where the teenager lived with his foster father,also endorsed the MLA's claim. The AGP has dubbed the incident as 'state terrorism', an allegation the Congress had often brought against the former when it was in power. The Bilasipara unit of the AGP cited the incident as another instance of 'secret killing'. The MLA said if the police had information of Kamal being a member of the rebel outfit, they could have taken him into custody as he was 'always available' in the village or in Guwahati. Minister of state for home Pradyut Bordoloi said he has asked the police to submit a detailed report on the incident. 'Till the report comes, I cannot comment on the subject,' he added. Villagers said the teenager was proceeding towards Thurubari on a bicycle when he was shot dead by a CRPF patrol led by Dhubri deputy superintendent of police (headquarters). Daokibari goanburah (village headman) Sontola Basumatari said he heard 'only three gun shots'. He alleged that he was not allowed to see the body. Villagers also denied reports that Kamal was armed when the incident happened. The district police official in charge of the case corroborated the villagers' claims and said, 'The incident site had no signs of an encounter'. Kamal lost his mother, a Nepali, immediately after his birth and his father, a Bhutia, died when he was just four years old. The politician adopted the child in 1984 and since then, Kamal had been staying with him. According to the villagers, Kamal was a shy and studious teenager. He passed the high school leaving certificate examination in the first division with letter marks in three subjects from Gordon Higher Secondary School in Nalbari. Next, he moved to the capital for higher studies but returned without appearing for the HS final examination. An AGP leader accused the Congress government of launching a 'vendetta war' against the party by targeting its leaders and their family members. 'Today, it is the son of an MLA; tomorrow, it may be the MLA himself,' he said. A source said after Kamal returned home, he was admonished by his father for not completing his studies. An infuriated Kamal left his home and was staying with other villagers. 'It was a just a case of a father-son ego clash and nothing else,' a neighbour of the MLA said. 'Kamal was never involved in quarrels with anyone. He was not that kind of a boy,' he added.
