According to reports,  Diban Deka, a prominent member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha in Assam, has voluntarily surrendered to the police. The surrender unfolded at the Chandmari Police Station, where Deka presented himself to the police. The allegations against Diban Deka revolve around his purported involvement in sharing private and intimate photographs of Indrani Tahbildar, which contributed to her death.

Adding complexity to the situation, a telephonic conversation between Indrani and Diban has surfaced garnering widespread attention. Deka now stands accused not only of releasing the audio recording of this conversation but also of making another conversation between Indrani and an individual named Riya public. Recent revelations disclose that Diban Deka is also linked to the high-profile SI exam scandal that rocked Assam in 2020.
