"Normally, if such an allegation is made, it's a simple defamation case. But when such an arrangement is made to influence the election results, it's linked with the election, as they want to reflect the election result. And for such crimes, according to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the punishment is life imprisonment. Yesterday night, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma filed an FIR. I am sure that the police will register the case and the police will fulfill their constitutional and legal responsibilities in this matter," he added.
