DoNER Minister urges Delhi Police to nab culprits behind assault on Manipuri sigblings

GANGTOK, 15 April: The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has urged the Delhi Police to take “urgent steps” to nab the culprits involved in the assault on a Manipuri brother-sister duo on the night of 12 April in the Munirka area of South Delhi.
A DoNER press release conveys the condemnation of the assault by the Minister for DoNER, Bijoy Krishna Handique, who said, “It is a matter of grave concern that the culprits are yet to be arrested after three days of the incident. However, we have full confidence on the Police and we have asked them to hasten the process of locating and arresting the accused immediately. The use of spy cameras in the rented buildings also needs a proper investigation. Our Ministry officials are closely following up with the concerned authorities and also taking measures on the recovery of the sibling who is recuperating at the hospital.”

Mr. Handique is personally keeping tabs on developments in the case, his office informs.
As directed by the Minister, a senior officer from the Ministry of DoNER visited the victims and assured the necessary support and help from the Ministry. The officer also met concerned police officials to take stock of the progress of the case, the release adds.
