Assam Chief Minister reacted to the incident on X (formerly Twitter), saying, "No place for illegal infiltrators. We will not allow any illegal infiltrator into Assam." He also reminded everyone of the government's strict policy against illegal immigration and promised that strong actions would keep the state's borders secure.

The individuals, identified as Hubha S, Mithun S, and Pinki Molla, had been arrested and later pushed back to Bangladesh.
