Original sentence: 8, Silbheta, Borburi and Nellie.A Commission of Inquiry was instituted under T D Tiwari, the report of which has not been made public.Most of the victims were women and children belonging to the Muslim community, who were newly settled and were suspected to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.The massacre claimed the lives of 2,191 people (unofficial figures run at more than 5,000) from 14 villages—Alisingha, Khulapathar, Basundhari, Bugduba Beel, Bugduba Habi, Borjola, Butuni, Indurmari, Mati Parbat, Muladhari, Mati Parbat no.The massacre took place in the context of the 1983 Assembly elections in Assam that were declared against the wishes of the Assam Agitation leaders that did not want an election till the electoral rolls were cleansed of illegal immigrants.There is enough evidence to suggest that successive local governments, belonging to both the Congress and the AGP, have suppressed information about the massacre
Edited sentence: The involvement of the All Assam Students Union and the Asom Gana Parishad is widely alleged.The violence was directed against Muslims, and the death toll is variously reported from around 600 to nearer 3000
