Both of them are known quite well in their fields in Guwahati.
Child Rights activist and chief of the child rights organisation, UTSAH, Miguel Das Queah said that the matter is being looked into and it was a very good initiative by one of the neighbours who approached the police regarding the ‘torture’ of the minor.

However, on Friday the couple was finally brought to notice by the police after a neighbour approached the police.
The couple who lives in Manipur Basti of Guwahati, Assam were accused of assaulting the minor and they often used to tie her up on the rooftop of the apartment complex they lived in as punishment.
Sangeeta Datta on Friday night claimed that she along with her husband were victims of a conspiracy.
She claimed that someone were jealous of them and hence they wanted to destroy their careers.
