ITANAGAR, Jun 29:The Arunachal Pradesh government has handed over the case relating to disappearance and subsequent death of a student Toko Yame in Tawang last year to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

In this regard a Case No 29/2017 u/s 363/302 IPC was registered at the Tawang Police Station on 16/09/2017 and during the investigation, the dead body of the missing boy was recovered on 24/09/2017. Subsequently, the case was transferred to the State Crime Branch (SIT) on 13/10/2017.

However, the State Government took note that the case is serious and sensitive in nature and also that representations have been received from the public, therefore decided to hand over the case to CBI for expediting the investigation process and for ensuring that justice is delivered to the bereaved family members.

In a letter to the CBI, the State Home Commissioner has informed that on basis of the recommendation made by the State Director General of Police and for reasons mentioned above, the competent authority has decided to transfer the case to CBI.

The gist of the case and status reports have also been submitted to the CBI.

Meanwhile, welcoming the decision, AAPSU, general secretary Tobom Dai said that the investigation must be fast tracked and time bound without any political interference.

‘Also the state government must handover the late Ojing Taying case to CBI as demanded by AESDSU.

Since the case has been languishing for a year without any breakthrough, Itanagar police and SIT must accept their abject failure in handling the case,’ Dai said.
