It may be mentioned that your representatives Sri Atul Bora, Minister of Agriculture and Sri Jogen Mohan, MoS (Ind) Revenue etc., visited the residence of deceased family on June 16, 2020 and gave assurance that the inquiry would be completed and made public within seven days.

"Though it has been almost twenty days passed yet nobody knows about the outcome of the report. Besides, till today neither the Army and police personnel responsible for the death of Jayanta Bora have been arrested nor any proceeding been started yet.
