An arrest warrant was issued against A Sawibunga, President of the Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Forum (MBDPF,) by a Mamit district court after the police failed to produce him before it.
Senior Civil Judge of Mamit district court also directed the district police yesterday to produce the Bru leader before him on October 14.
The judge had earlier issued an arrest arrest on August 28 and instructed the police to produce Sawibunga on September 19.
The police had claimed that the MBDPF chief could not be arrrested as he is residing in a relief camp in Tripura.
The court's orders came after Young Mizo Association filed a petition alleging that Sawibunga had, in a newspaper report in January this year, falsely accused Mizo people of assaulting Bru people and driving them out from their homes.
