Guwahati, Mar 16 (IBNS): The Assam Police is yet to trace Subodh Biswas, who was earlier declared as most wanted and the main accused in the Silapathar incident in which miscreants attacked and vandalized a local All Assam StudentsUnion (AASU) office.

To arrest the national president of Nikhil Bharat Bangali Udbastu Samanvay Samiti (NIBBUSS), a 6-member team of Assam police went to Delhi on Thursday and also contacted with the Maharashtra, West Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh counterparts.

Assam DGP Mukesh Sahay said that, a team including three officials of Special Investigating Team (SIT) haa gone to Delhi to trace Subodh Biswas.

The top Assam cops said that, Subodh Biswas had managed to flee from Silapathar on March 10 with help from some local persons and some persons identified.

Meanwhile, Assam police arrested three more persons in connection with the March 6 Silapathar incident.

Dhemaji police had arrested Sadhan Biswas, vice president of NIBBUSS Dhemaji unit and other two persons Pallav Seal and Bharat Rajbongshi.

Assam police had arrested 48 persons so far in connection with the AASU office attack incident.

On the other hand, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said that, police will arrest the main accused person of the Silapathar incident soon.

“Assam police has already formed a SIT specially for the incident,” the Assam CM said.

On the other hand, protests are continued by several organizations including AASU across the state and demanded the state government to arrest the main accused who triggered turmoil in Assam in past 10 days.

On Thursday, AASU activists staged protests across the state against the state government failure to arrest Subodh Biswas.
