“An Assam Police team, including officers of the CID (Criminal Investigation Department), is leaving for Delhi to take lawful action relating to the conspiracy behind the incident in light of a media interview by (Mizoram) Rajya Sabha MP, Shri K Vanlalvena, indicative of his active role in the conspiracy,” the Assam Police said in a statement on Wednesday.
