Expressing deep anguish over the incident, APSCW Chairperson Radhilu Chai Techi said that the Commission received a written complaint from the 'Women Welfare Association of Narcotic Cell' at Lekang regarding the incident.
Appreciating the action of Police, Techi referred to Changlang Superintendent of Police who said that 15 accused people have been arrested while efforts were on to arrest the other accused as early as possible.
