The Uttarakhand government has assured that exemplary punishment will be ensured for those involved in the crime.

During the visit to Angel Chakma’s residence, Social Welfare Minister Tinku Roy handed over a cheque of ₹4,12,500 on behalf of the Uttarakhand government and ₹5 lakh as financial assistance from the Tripura government to the victim’s mother, Gouri Mita Chakma. The condolence message sent by the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand was also formally delivered to the family.
