After the action taken in Barpeta on Monday, a senior police officer says that the complex was being used for terrorist activities. During that time the Dhakalipara madrassa was demolished. Also, two brothers Akbar Ali and Abul Kalam Azad were arrested for having links with AQIS/ABT.

The Assam government first took action on the madrassa in Morigaon on 4 August.

At the same time, he had told that the security forces had busted 5 jihadi modules since March.
