ITANAGAR, Mar 30: Tayo Biki, who was recently arrested by police for allegedly leading the mob involved in vandalizing Likha Saaya’s residence on Saturday clarified that he was not the ring leader as stated in the police investigation report but a victim of "wrongful conviction".
Interacting with press persons here at Arunachal press club, Biki justified that he was arrested without any probable cause by police, but on mere suspicion.
He also clarified that mob attack on Saaya's residence was not instigated by him nor did he come there with such mischievous purpose. "I only arrived there after Saaya summoned me to discuss  politics related issues over withdrawal of his candidature."
Also refuting the charge by police of forcefully barging into the master bedroom of Saaya with a knife and slashing sofas in the room, Biki said “I arrived at the spot when everything was over and entered the bedroom when he (Saaya ) summoned me which the police wrongly assumed that I tried to physically attack Saaya."
Meanwhile, three other suspects who were also alleged to be involved in the vandalism incident in the FIR namely Khoda Tamang, Tayo Tagio and Jamlo Esack also expressed their reservation over dragging their names in the vandalism episode with no fault of theirs. Categorically refuting the claim in the FIR, the trio clarified that they arrived at the spot with an intention to help in containing the situation, not with a motive to support the action of the mob.
