ABMSU, AAMSU & 0-Boro Suruksha Samittee called a 24 hrs. Assam bandh. From that day the violence spread Kokrajhar, Gossaigaon, Bongaigaon and some parts of Dhubri District.



The series of violence incidents described above lead us to surmise that the aggressors were Immigrant Muslims not the Bodos. In fact it was pre-planned attacked of Bangladeshis on indigenous Bodo tribal people to establish their Islamic hegemony.
