ITANAGAR, Mar 30:  Claiming non response from the police and state government despite serving a week's ultimatum in the mysterious death case of  Under Secretary-APPSC Tumi Gangkak, the Galo Welfare Society  today announced a sit-in protest on April 1 next and also threatened to call capital bandh if the government fails to respond.
Speaking to the media  at the press club, General Secretary GWS Nyadar Loya claimed that despite repeated representations and serving seven days ultimatum on the Late Tumi Gangkak mysterious death case, authorities have failed to submit any concrete report. "We still believe that the death of the late Under Secretary is murder. If the government thinks that it is not 'murder' then they should release the report in public domain," he added.
Loya informed that the GWS will organize the sit-in protest at IG park on April 1 next followed by "mass leave" by Galo government employees serving in all the districts on April 10 next while adding that if government fails to respond, the Society may resort to a capital bandh.
“I appeal to every section of society, even the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) to lend support to GWS to confer justice to  Late Gangkak. There is no communal colour (to this), though he was from the Galo community but he was a government employee and citizen of this state, and the prime witness in the APPSC job scam and his murder was crafted and pre-planned," added GWS General Secretary.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police, ICR- Jimmy Chiram in an official statement informed that, the case is still under investigation through the special investigation team (SIT) formed under the Capital police.
The investigation team has completed the search and seizure from the spot, collected autopsy report, collected and analyzed over 100 hours of CCTV footage, detailed CDR analysis of victim, suspects and others, detailed interrogation of various suspects and witnesses. Some evidence has been sent to FSL for further analysis, and the reports are awaited. CCTV footage is further being analysed for any other findings. The call data records from nearby mobile towers have also been collected and are being analyzed.
The updates of investigation is being shared with the victim's family on regular basis. Any other organization may contact the capital police for any information regarding the case. Capital police is trying to complete the investigation at the earliest, however, as of now due to awaiting of reports, conclusive report cannot be provided, the SP added.
