Security forces are expecting to unearth several key information from both who are currently in 77-day custody.
Meanwhile, as per the latest government directive, any Imam or religious teacher coming to Assam from outside will have to register their names in a portal being made for the purpose of keeping track of those keeping into the state for teaching in Madrassas.
