Mr. Abhijan jumped into a nearby pond as one of the terrorists pulled the trigger of his gun. But miraculously, the weapon did not fire and Abhijan was saved by a split second. Panic stricken people began to yelp, and the terrorists fled through Babupara village brandishing their weapons. This is the second attempt on his life. Earlier, on 12 February, he was narrowly saved when Santu group men opened fire on him.
