From the night of 1 May 2014 until the early morning hours of 3 May, a series of attacks occurred against Bengali Muslims in Assam, a north-eastern state of India.

In 2012, violence between Bodo tribal people and Bengali Muslims resulted in 108 deaths fueled by an Assam Police Constable Mohibur Islam (alias Ratul).

[2] Around 07:30 PM IST on 1 May, insurgents, arriving on bicycles, raided the Baksa district village of Narsingbari, opening fire on a house, killing three women and injuring two others.

In the early morning hours of 2 May, another group of insurgents opened fire at three houses in the village of Balapara in the district of Kokrajhar, killing seven people.
