The Hatigaon police rushed to the spot and took the four to the police station. On March 29, the four told the police that they had a misunderstanding and they did not have any complaint against each other. The police video recorded their statement and released them.

On March 29, Bishal Barman, one of the two youths, lodged a complaint with Hatigaon Police stating that one of the two girls, whom the police had taken to the police station on March 28, demanded Rs 1 lakh and a gold chain from him, failing which she would make 'something' viral in the media. She also sent her QR code to Bishal Barman for sending her the money she had demanded.

The police registered a case in that connection and arrested the girl and her boyfriend, Abhijit Chakravarty. The police said that it is a honey trapping racket that tempts boys, traps them and demands money.
