While the body of Khwmdwn Daimary was found with bullet injuries near Tamulpur area after a few days, subsequently, the body of the second victim Rajib Basumatary was also recovered from inside the Manas reserve forest. The third victim, Rajkumar Rabha, however, managed to survive even after sustaining grievous injuries.
