His mother, who is the complainant in the case, joined him later after selling and disposing of all the immovable properties, owned by her husband, he added.

Subsequently, a non-bailable warrant of arrest was issued against the accused by the Court of CJM, Pasighat which was endorsed to Assam Police but the warrants were returned as un-executed.
"On receiving reliable input on the accused whereabouts by the IO Taying, the matter then liaised with SDPO Jonai, OC Silapathar and Incharge OP Dimov.
