The incident has drawn significant public attention, especially in light of the Assam government's recent decision to strengthen the Cattle Preservation Act.

In December last year, the Assam Cabinet imposed a complete prohibition on the public consumption of beef across the state, including a ban on serving beef in hotels, restaurants, and social gatherings.

The city police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
