Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma also spoke to the parents of the unfortunate girl, empathised with them and assured them that culprits will not be spared as a massive manhunt is underway for their arrest.

Chief Minister Sarma said, “Every life is precious. What happened at Bhuragaon in Morigaon district to a religious minority minor girl was really very unfortunate. I assured the parents of the girl that the perpetrators of the crime will not be spared”.
