Frustrated at Govt’s Inaction, Opts For Customary Law

AASU to meet AIMSU to discuss on the recent kidnapping

Roing (Arunachal), Feb 23 : Frustrated at the authority for slow pace of action to arrest the culprits involved in kidnapping of Akepi Miuli on Feb 3 last at Sadiya, Assam, the aggrieved family of the victim now wants to take up the matter in accordance to local customary law.

In a meeting held between the victim’s family and the district administration today, the family conveyed that they were loosing faith on the authority.

“Almost a month has passed and the police in Assam keeps repeating the same dialogue of culprits identified, three arrested”, said a family member.

“We are informed that the arrested people are relatives of the culprits and the real kidnappers are still roaming free”.

Giving ultimatum of three days, the family wants the matter to be solved through customary law if the culprits are not immediately arrested.

Accompanying the family members, AIMSU Chief Advisor Tone Mickrow expressing regret over slow pace of action said, “If any person from neighboring state is harmed in Roing, then the culprit is immediately booked. But if any Arunachali is harmed in Assam, then we fail to get justice”.

No loose comments: Ringu
Earlier in a separate meeting with the AIMSU members, Deputy Commissioner YW Ringu asked for all the administrative officials and police officials to refrain from passing any loose comments under any situation.

She was responding after a complaint by Miuli against officials trying to round up the blame of AIMSU’s action in response to kidnapping on him.
Also AIMSU had earlier served ultimatum to police head for passing comments over the union.
