On the other hand, Arati Roy Choudhury, grandmother of Trisha has been admitted to the ICU at Silchar Medical College and Hospital after she suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday afternoon.

The Silchar district Congress committee has said that the party cadres will not hesitate to stage protest if the child is not traced and recovered at the earliest.
