The two people that were arrested are currently being investigated by the police. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated on Sunday that some persons had collected a total of Rs. 28 lakh in the last three months and that no evictions will be carried out. He went on to say that such people had caused turmoil among the people by failing to stop the eviction. . CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "As per intelligence reports Rs. 28 lakh was collected by some people in the last three months proclaiming that no eviction would be taken place. Before the incident, Popular Front of India (PFI) visited the villagers in the name of carrying food items to the evicted families. Already, we have identified six persons connected with it. We are emerging various evidence, implicating certain people, including a lecturer."
