Police registered a case (No. 71/2025) and booked him under several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Sections 113(3), 153, 352 and 353(2). Following his detention, Hoque was produced before the district judicial court in Kokrajhar.
Assam Intensifies Action Against Online Support for Blast
The incident forms part of a larger statewide operation targeting individuals posting online content allegedly supporting or praising the Delhi blast. According to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, authorities have so far detained 17 people across Assam for similar activities.
