The protesters even shouted various slogans and insisted that the delay in arrest of the accused was possible only because of indirect political influence of a powerful political leader of the area. They were so furious that they went on rampage. The protesters alleged that among the traced rapists, Abdul Kadir was a close associate of Minister Rokibul Hussain. The protesters demanded immediate arrest of Abdul Kadir. Later, the protesters submitted a memorandum to the Governor of Assam through SDC Samaguri and urged the authorities to arrest all the culprits within hours.
