A massive protest broke out in Assam's Baksa district after the five people, who were arrested in connection with the death of singer Zubeen Garg in Singapore last month, were shifted to a newly-constructed prison on Wednesday.
According to sources, the situation outside Baksa district jail at Mushalpur remained tense as Garg's fans threw stones and slippers and apparently attempted to storm the premises.
The fans, the sources added, are upset with the decision to send the accused to Baksa prison, a newly-constructed premise with no inmates and a lot of amenities. The state government is trying to protect the accused, they alleged.
