Aftermath at Kolkata airport
According to reports, Rahman was detained by police upon arrival in Kolkata but was later released. Majumdar also exited the airport, failing to take his connecting flight to Silchar the next day.
His family, unaware of the incident, had arrived at Silchar airport to receive him. After seeing the viral video and failing to contact him—his phone was switched off—they filed a missing person report.
Found at railway station
Police later traced Majumdar to Barpeta railway station in Assam. Officials said he appeared physically and mentally unwell and is now being escorted home.
