Till today culprits those who had involved behind the heinous act even not a single person has been arrested nor has victimized family received justice being a citizen of democratic state, the forum said.

None of the victim families have got justice till today nor had a single case been registered by Police. An administrative has also failed to give security to protect the life of common people of this area. In some cases the local people has witnessed the involvement of security personal instead of giving security to common people. By witnessing activities of the administrative and militant groups, every citizens of Bengtol area have bearing fear psychosis in their mind and also they feel doubt to trust on security system of Assam government because common citizens are living under insecure situation,the forum said.
