SP Bhim Dhakal, Saptari district Police Chief, also acknowledged the fact. He, however, expressed his hope that police will soon nab the perpetrators. He added that police will soon find success on the case as they have intensified the search campaign coordinating with their Indian counterparts across the border.

ASI Subba had sustained bullet injuries to his right chest and thigh.
The incident site is located in the border area, which is 20-km south west of the district headquarters Rajbiraj.
