India, Oct. 15 -- Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday condemned the violent protests that erupted during the transfer of the accused in the Zubeen Garg death case to Baksa District Jail, alleging that political parties were attempting to incite unrest in the state.

"Political parties are trying to provoke Zubeen's fans and incite violence in Assam," CM Sarma said, urging citizens to stay calm and allow the investigation to proceed without obstruction. "The government will ensure a fair and transparent probe into the matter," he added.

Tension escalated in parts of Rangia and Mussalpur as an agitated mob hurled stones at vehicles carrying the five accused.

Assam Police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowd.
