The attack in Kokrajhar was, however, undoubtedly the more shocking of the two. According to survivor Babulal Yadav, the Bodo rebels had descended on Dadgiri village—about 100 yards from the border with Bhutan—at 1.30 in the morning, woken the villagers up, taken the male members of every household to a nearby pig market, lined them up and fired indiscriminately at them. While taking the villagers away, the Bodo insurgents had apparently told the women members of their families that "their men would be sent back in the morning".
