ITANAGAR, Jun 19: The Tamin Elite Society (TES), while acknowledging the arrest of accused Lokbi Bojir by the Seijosa police,  has condemned the statement issued by a relative of the accused of being ‘innocent’ and being 'framed'.
Condemning the statement, TES youth President Tokdak Tamin appealed to the Seijosa police to arrest the said relative of the accused and investigate him for alleged involvement in tampering and questioning the reports provided by the doctor and the case investigation officer.
“The child has numerous injury marks on entire body. How can the person term those marks/scars as caused  by 'boil' (Furuncle).  
We want the police to arrest the person and interrogate as per law,” he said.
Tamin further claimed that as per the Medico-legal Case (MLC) report by the doctor, it is confirmed that the minor was sexually assaulted. The victim was with the accused for the past two years, he added.
According to the press statement,  the victim is undergoing treatment for mental trauma at a rehabilitation centre.  
The TES thanked the people for generous donation of cash amounting to around Rupees Six lakhs for the treatment of the minor.
Earlier on Friday, while refuting the entire allegation against the accused Bojir, a relative of his, who reached the Seijosa Police station, had urged the police to make free & fair investigation claiming the accused was innocent and framed.
The relative said, as per the statement of Bojir, he is not involved in any of the atrocity against the eight-year-old girl, however in state media and in social media people have already convicted him.
While appealing to the public to stop social media trial for the sake of accused family members, the relative also stated that the scars found on the body of the minor was of boil mark and not of physical assault.
Lukbi Bojir, an Elementary Teacher and a permanent resident of Tirbin town under Leparada district was evading arrest on May 26 last, after he was alleged of involvement in the assault of the minor girl.
A  case was registered on May 26 last under 00/21 U/S 363/326/34 IPC R/W SEC. 75 JJB ACT & 14 Bonded Labor Act against the said accused Lukbi Bojir in  women Police station Itanagar, later it was transferred to Police Station-Pakke Kessang.
