ITANAGAR, Feb 25: The Adi-Baane-Kebang (ABK) has demanded the state government to immediately probe the death of former APPSC under-secretary Tumi Gangkak.
Addressing the media persons at the press club here today, ABK Spokesperson Vijay Taram also appealed to the public of the state to refrain from communal and hate speech against the deceased and their family members. He said such communal and hate speech in social media is unfortunate and should be brought to an end.
He said in such hard times when a family is still mourning the incident, false allegations against the deceased is not a sign of maturity. Let the police do the investigation and accordingly bring out the truth behind the entire episode, he said.
“My personal opinion on the death of Tumi Gangkak is that it is a 'homicide by suicide'. The ABK has not much to say but appeal to the police department to ensure that the culprits are arrested in time and accordingly served punishment,” he said.
Also, he said that the police should not treat the case like the murder case of one Ojing Tayeng, rape and murder of one lady Aroti Mize. Both cases are yet to see results despite the passing of many years.
Taram also appealed to the state government to provide security to the entire accused in connection to the APPSC cash-for-job scam and their families.
“Following the arrest of people in connection to the cash-for-job scam, there is repeated hate and communal comments on social media against the community and the family of the arrested. Therefore, the state government should ensure their safety,” he added.
