If anyone desiring to meet the additional chief secretary in person then such individual should inform the district commissioner of Jorhat in advance, so that the additional chief secretary may be informed in this regard.
It may be mentioned that Gogoi was found hanging from a tree behind his house on December 26, 2023. The incident created uproar by his family and various organizations on the grounds of alleged torture by police when he was taken to the police station several times regarding grenade blast at the Military Station, Lichubari on December 14 night. The police, however, refuted allegations of torture and stated that was sent back in good health.
