Two other individuals are detained for sharing the picture with malicious comments named Puli Muchahary and Nang Noyonmoni Gogoi from Bodoland Digital and Spotlight Assam respectively. 

GP Singh, ADGP tweeted, “salacious news article about an honorable minister of Government of Assam and attempts to malign familial bonds. People are strongly advised not to give air to such attempts since posting such pictures with malicious intension attracts provision of POCSO Act. Assam police would take strong actions against all such attempts under stringent provisions of POCSO Act.” 

He further added. “Actions shall be taken against all persons irrespective of their place of residence who use any of the social media platforms to maliciously use such platforms for furthering their conspiracy.” 

On such unparliamentarily attempts Sharma said, “My wife has lodged a police case in this regard. I am surprised that people would stoop so low in their conspiracies to target me that they are now showing a photo of mine taken with my minor daughter in such manner.”

According to reports, Sarma is shocked to know about such “conspiracies” that could target him. From various parts of the state, people have raised their voice and condemned such uncharitable matter strongly.
