The mortal remains were earlier taken to Silchar Medical College & Hospital for postmortem and were airlifted on Saturday by M17 Helicopters of IAF which reached the Helipad of 37th AR located at Mata Village by 2.40 pm.

The fact that the postmortem reports did not accompany the death bodies led the Joint Philanthropic Organisation of Churachandpur, who are tasked to organise a burial at the  Martyr's Park near Khuga Dam, decided that there was no reason to claim the body shun postmortem reports. They also decided that as and when the postmortem reports come, the funeral process will begin.
