Clarifying the circumstances, she stated that no third party was involved in her disappearance and dismissed speculation linking any cab driver or outsider to the incident. She left her residence on April 24, travelled from Jalukbari to Paltan Bazar, and then traveled alone to Shillong, where she checked into a hotel. She added that CCTV footage would verify that she was unaccompanied throughout her journey.
Bhabana also addressed a message she had sent to her mother claiming she was “in danger,” saying it was written while she was under severe emotional distress. She explained that she was suffering from anxiety and was mentally unstable at the time, which led to her actions. However, she later reconsidered and decided to return home.
The following morning, she sought help from a woman nearby and managed to contact her mother. With assistance from Assam Police, she was able to return safely.
In her statement, Bhabana further alleged that she had been under emotional pressure and threats during a two-year relationship with a man identified as Nihar Jyoti Sarma. She claimed that he had threatened to release private photos and videos if she attempted to end the relationship, and that her family was also subjected to intimidation.
She said the prolonged stress and fear arising from the situation contributed to her decision to leave home. Bhabana confirmed that she has filed an FIR regarding the matter and is cooperating with the ongoing police investigation.
She also used her platform to urge others facing emotional distress or coercion not to suffer in silence and to seek help.
