Heard from friends in Guwahati as:

this incident was handywork of the TV journalist who was present in the
scene ----- the journalist  called the live camera van, and waited more
than 20 mins for the camera to arrive,.... to keep the girl not to leave
the place, he instigated the people present and passerby's.... ... the
passerby's treated the girl as any other pickpockets. .. later more camera
joined the filming.

The initial news aired at NewsLive was titled like: guwahatir rajpathat
matal juboti or  something. ...
now they are airing news as : christian bostir nirjatito juboti.
