According to reports, the Assam Rifles allegedly denied timber transportation despite MLA Leishiyo Keishings's request, which heightened the tension among locals. Alleging harassment on the local people, the mob demanded the exit of the Assam Rifles from the area.

However, the Assam Rifles refuted the allegation and said that they were manning a post at Hongbei and were inspecting vehicles. They stopped a vehicle carrying timber which had no required documents to enter the village. They also mentioned that the Assam Rifles had to respond with tear gas shells and firing as the protesters turned violent during the time of confrontation.
