Relatably, a mysterious sound was reported in the Beharbari area, raising suspicions, but no evidence of an explosion was found. Meanwhile, another bomb scare emerged at ISBT Guwahati, where a suspicious bag was spotted.
Upon investigation, police found only a bundle of clothing and some identity cards belonging to labourers.
However, the proscribed Ulfa (I) claimed it had carried out blasts at Lalmati and Rehabari besides several other places. The outfit has called for a boycott of the Republic Day celebration and also a Statewide shutdown from 1 AM till 6 PM, but this has evoked little response.
