We are on the job to trace out the person and collecting CCTV footages from all nearby locations,"  informed Officer In-charge, Tezu Police Station, R Borang. An FIR has been registered against the person who assaulted the female attendant, he informed.
Condemning the incident, a family member, A Krong, has sought immediate arrest of the person involved in the incident. We should encourage our sisters to opt for any job for self-reliance but such incidents will only discourage their spirit, he said.
