Four constables of the Assam Police have been suspended following an incident in Silchar where they halted an ambulance that was heading to a hospital while the chief minister's convoy moved through the city.

The department issued a statement confirming the disciplinary measure and indicated that an internal inquiry will examine the circumstances that led to the obstruction.
