Commissioner, Sentiyanger Imchen, said that with a view to instilling a sense of security among non-Naga communities residing in the state, especially Dimapur, the government has been utilising the service of Assam Rifles, besides the state police and Indian Reserve Battalion jawans.
Asked if any flag march was conducted by the Army in Dimapur today as reported by a section of media, he replied in the negative and maintained the paramilitary forces were at hand to instill a sense of security among the non-local residents.
On March five, a mob broke into the jail, dragged him out, stripped him naked, beat him up, pelted him with stones and dragged him towards the centre of Dimapur town, seven kilometres away.
On the way he succumbed to his injuries after which the mob strung the body to a clock tower.
