What FACTLY found

The image of a man in handcuffs actually shows a Bangladeshi madrasa teacher who was arrested for alleged sexual harassment of a student, who eventually committed suicide back in 2018. The other image shows ammunition recovered from militants in Jammu & Kashmir after a brief exchange of fire back in 2018. Both these images have nothing to do with Assam. Also, there are no recent reports of Assam Congress leader getting arrested for possession of ammunition
