- Police have arrested constable Chiranjib/Chiranjiv Choudhury and taken him into custody for interrogation while the bodies were sent to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital for postmortem.
- Officials say the shots came from an AK-type service rifle and a forensic team has examined the outpost to collect evidence and reconstruct the sequence of events.
