  Goes to show the agenda of the English language press in Assam. It is little more than a puppet of the
  GoI propaganda machinery.

   Abridged English traslation given below.
  
   The nine year old who made a bomb safe portrayed as a terrorist.
  
   The news report in the above link is about a nine year boy named Balai Karmakar of Bongaai Gaao, Assam; who out of curiosity picked up a device with two lights inside a bottle full of some powder. Out of curiosity what the lights were he emptied the bottle of the powder to get to the lights. A passer-by suspecting the bottle  a bomb asked the boy to throw it away immediately when the bottle blew up in a small explosion. He was handed over to the police.
  
   The police officer in charge of the locality Dipak Kumar stated that no connection with the ULFA was established whatsoever and he has been freed. Balai denied receiving any money to carry the bottle.  
  
   It seems that instead of Balai being a paid bomb handler, by emptying the bottle of its powdery content he has possibly prevented a massive explosion in Bongaai Gaao; comments the news reporter.
