A formal complaint was lodged at the Kokrajhar Sadar Police Station, seeking De Roy's arrest.

An ABSU leader denounced De Roy's behaviour, revealing that he had scolded Bodo employees, used inappropriate language, and made threats against them. "His remarks were not only disrespectful but also detrimental to societal harmony," the leader said. "We are proud Indians, and our President is a tribal. De Roy's statements are an attempt to harm our community's peace and unity."
