Notably, the main accused, who shot dead SBI official Junu Sharma – Arup Das alias Bikram Asom was earlier associated with the ULFA-Independent.
Although, Arup surrendered in 2017, he illegally held on to his pistol. And, the police believe that this is the same pistol that was used to kill Junu Sharma.

According to police, the murder was planned by the 5 persons who were earlier arrested by the police, namely – Sunil Mishra, Putul Ali, Montu Ali, Saddam Ali and Junu Sharma’s personal driver Pranab Kalita.
Police have also revealed that Junu Sharma was murdered in order to avenge personal vendetta.
These 5 persons contacted Ajanta Kalita, who later along with former ULFA-Independent cadre Arup Das shot dead Junu Sharma. It was Arup Das who shot at Junu Sharma, that killed her on the spot.
Meanwhile, Ajanta Kalita was riding the motorcycle, which was used in the murder.
On the other hand, the woman, who was arrested along with these two youths is an accomplice in the case.
She passed information about Junu Sharma such as the timing of Junu Sharma entering the office to her leaving it to Arup Das and Ajanta Kalita.
