Four Indian villagers were injured in a clash between locals and a gang of Bangladeshi cattle lifters at Katigorah in Cachar district, official sources said today.
The violence broke out when about 200 Bangladeshis carrying sharp weapons entered the Indian side near pillar number 1341 in Natanpur area of Katigorah and tried to take away cattle of the villagers yesterday, they said.
