Senior police officials, including the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Crime, have arrived at the station to oversee the interrogation process.

At around 11 AM on Friday (28 February), Mahbubul Hoque was escorted into Dispur Police Station, accompanied by another arrested individual, Numaan Ahmed, a teacher who was apprehended in connection with the same case. Authorities are expected to conduct an extensive interrogation of both individuals under the supervision of top police officials.
