The Congress party has alleged that stones were thrown at vehicles carrying its leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Bhupesh Baghel in Assam, according to NDTV. The party alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party workers attacked the convoy carrying the leaders. It has filed a police complaint over the incident.

The supplied material does not state when or where the alleged attack occurred, whether anyone was injured or how much damage was caused to the vehicles. It also contains no independent account of the incident and no response from the BJP. The allegations have therefore not been corroborated in the available report.
