PASIGHAT, May 20: The Arunachal Pradesh Unit of North East Human Rights Organization (NEHRO) has strongly condemned the failure of the state police department in cracking the murder mystery of Ojing Taying, an incident which dates way back to June 2017.
In a press release issued today, NEHRO while expressing anguish as no headway of the case has been made so far, has also appealed the state police to undertake specialized and technical investigation to crack the case within a three-month time frame.
It may be recalled that Ojing Taying, a prominent students’ leader of East Siang District was brutally attacked by some miscreants at Niti Vihar Road on June 10,2017 and later succumbed to his injuries at GNRC Guwahati after nine days on June 19. Accordingly, a case was registered at Itanagar PS Vide PS.Case No.146/2017 U/S 341/326/302/34 IPC but as the investigation by state police SIT was not progressing satisfactorily, the state government transferred the case from SIT to CBI. But CBI declined to take up the case citing it to be ‘very simple in nature’.
NEHRO in its press release has also alleged that the news of transferring the case to CBI which came out from CMO on July 7,2018 was nothing more than a political stunt by the government for their own political benefits. And although the rejection letter was dispatched from CBI ACB Guwahati on December 27, 2018, the family members and relatives of victim were never informed and kept in dark about the case status. The culprit(s) are yet to be traced even though the case was registered nearly two years back.
Meanwhile, the state police has announced a reward of one lakh for anyone whose information might lead to the solving of the case. NEHRO Press Release
