On 17 March 2009, the ex-MLAs Kushal Deuri and Jiten Gogoi along with 3 others entered the world-famous Kaziranga National Park via Mihimukh for fishing and threatened the forest official.
Bijoy, who was expelled from the saffron party last month for six years on disciplinary grounds, told reporters, "The attack might be a threat… to make me politically silent."
