His action was praised by everyone and Borsing Bey became a household name for his act.

Taking to Twitter, DGP Mahanta wrote, “The man Assam can’t stop talking about, The toast of town… Home Guard Shri Borsing Bey was in Police Head Quarters today! He was felicitated and handed over a check of Rs. 1,00,000 as a recognition for his honest and selfless act that needs no explanation today!”
