The CM's SVC has issued another summon notice to Rajya Sabha MP Ajit Bhuyan in connection to the case. Following this, the Rajya Sabha MP along with four ACS officials is being strictly instructed not to leave Guwahati city during the investigation process.

All of them are being asked to visit the CM's SVC office for an interrogation starting from Tuesday.

Speaking to the media, MP Ajit Bhuyan said, “I have raised certain questions regarding the issue, I have also challenged the chief minister of Assam, but I didn’t receive any reply, rather I was notified by the CM’s SVC to visit them for interrogation. They have registered a case against me. I am ready to cooperate in the investigation process. I have received the papers today.”
