The OC and also the I/O stopped the police investigation. To satisfy the family members of the deceased, the corrupt police officer and his team arrested the housemaid of the Afghan along with another employee at that time but police were not able to prove their involvement in the murder in the court. Thus, the mysterious murder of the noted businessman of the town remained unsolved due to a section of Sivasagar Police. If the police investigation had been led in the right direction at that time, the police would have succeeded in catching hold of the murderers. Since 2014, altogether four Superintendents of Police (SPs) have served in this district but the murder case file of the Afghan was never re-opened.
