So far, the Assam government has suspended 21 officers for their alleged involvement in the scam.

DGP GP Singh said, “Those with evidence against them can be prosecuted and will face proper punishments, while those against whom evidence of minor wrongdoings are found will face departmental action.”
DGP Singh said, “The SIT constituted by the state government to probe the matter is on the job. It is compiling a list of evidences. Once it files the final report, the government will take the appropriate action based on the list of evidence it has against each party.”
