Curfew was imposed in Roing town in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Dibang Valley district as tensions flared after a migrant youth from neighbouring Assam was lynched by a mob for allegedly sexually assaulting several girls, police said.
The 19-year-old man, identified as Riaz-Ul Kurim from Bongaigaon, was taken into police custody on Friday after it came to light that he had allegedly sexually assaulted several girls of a school.
The parents of the girls, who filed a complaint with the school authorities, had nabbed the youth and thrashed him before police rescued him and took him into custody. However, a mob barged into the police station, dragged the youth outside and beat him. As he was rescued and taken to hospital, they followed him and thrashed him again, ultimately leading to his death.
