Locals blocked the busy Silchar Kalain road for four hours. Later local MLA Khaliluddin Mazumdar, Additional Police Super reached the site to pacify the angry mob. Local residents demanded a job for the widow of Safiul Islam, who was killed in the tragic accident. Maintaining that Suklabaidya had no role in the tragic incident, the local residents said being a minister he should have at least sent a message of condolence to the bereaved family.

The escort car bearing registration number AS 30-8883 was heading towards Meghalaya border to receive the minister and unfortunately collided with Safiul’s bike.
