According to official inputs, the SIT has established the involvement of a British national—married to an Indian Member of Parliament—in the network linked to Sheikh. The investigation also revealed that the Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan, allegedly facilitated the visit of a Member of Parliament from Assam to that country.
The Assam Government stated that the SIT report will be examined in detail before being placed before the State Cabinet. Once deliberations are completed, the findings of the probe will be made public.

Earlier today, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said he would first review the report before its release. “I will receive the report after returning to Guwahati. I will go through it and then the government will inform the people about the future course of action. This is a serious inquiry and is related to the nation’s security,” he said.
The SIT is also probing the alleged Pakistani links of Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi and his family. The Chief Minister emphasized that any action would be taken only after a detailed review of the report.
