Justice C R Sarma yesterday rejected the petition of Gaurav Jyoti Neog of News Live channel and has been accused by Team Anna member Akhil Gogoi of orchestrating the incident.
Neog was questioned by police.
The bench also directed police to submit the case diary on the incident on July 30.
Meanwhile, the Assam government has formed a high-level task force to study the rising trend of crime against women and suggest measures for curbing them.

It has been given a month's time to file a comprehensive report.
