Appealing for a return of normalcy and a right away end to the intimidation and arbitrary arrests of random people beneath the ‘open’ FIRs registered against a lot of unnamed people, he stated, “All deaths should be treated as murders on the FIR level in keeping with prevalent law, and investigation should continue on these lines until proof issues differently.”
Several people had been detained illegally until date, stated Henri Tiphagne of the staff, including that that 15 people have been killed in the police firing and related incidents.
