Three people were assaulted by a group of unknown miscreants in Golflinks on March 21, following a football match. Days after the assault, one of the victims succumbed to his injuries at NEIGRIHMS.
The "inability" of the police to make any arrests, in this case, has angered civil societies that demanded speedy justice and the removal of Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui.
