Overview

• Hundreds to thousands rallied in Dimapur, led by Zeliangrong organisations, demanding transparency in the investigation.
• Protesters asked the Commissioner of Police to publish the culprits' names and the forensic report within 15 days, warning further action if unmet.
• Police said a person was arrested on April 10 for the April 7 killing, describing the crime as committed in a fit of rage under the influence of alcohol.
• An interim chargesheet has been filed in court, and a supplementary chargesheet will follow once the FSL/DNA report arrives from an out-of-state laboratory due to the state's lack of a DNA division.
• Authorities said victim compensation procedures have been initiated for the deceased's minor child through the Peren District Legal Services Authority.
