According to reports, Deepanjali Kakoty Moran, an executive member of State BJP and resident of Dirak Powai, engaged in altercation with sub-inspector Aupurba Das over the release of her driver Srikanta Phukan of Dirak Amguri who was wanted by police in connection with assault on a woman.

When SI Das prevented her from doing so, she pushed him aside and allegedly assaulted Das physically. Though a case vide no 48/2020 was registered against Deepanjali Kakoty Phukan u/s294/448/332/427, the police is yet to arrest her.
