Tirap, May 27:
The family of Kamlo Mophuk, a resident of Lazu village in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tirap district, has alleged foul play in his mysterious death in Andhra Pradesh, calling it a “preplanned murder.”
According to the family, Kamlo had travelled to Andhra Pradesh on May 18 while heading to Karnataka after learning that one of his daughters working in Bangalore was allegedly being harassed at her workplace.
His younger daughter, Ngoyum Mophuk, claimed that Kamlo made a distress call to the family the same day, alleging that he had been brutally assaulted by Md. Amir Ali of Assam’s Hojai district, who is reportedly the boyfriend of one of his daughters. Kamlo allegedly told the family that Amir Ali confirmed his identity using photos and videos before attacking him.
The family further alleged that after escaping, Kamlo sought help at a local police station in Andhra Pradesh but was turned away. His daughters later searched for him for two days but could not trace him and filed a missing person report after returning home.
On May 23, the family was informed by Ongole Police that Kamlo Mophuk’s body had been recovered. The bereaved family has now demanded a fair and impartial investigation, immediate arrest of the accused, and justice for the deceased.
The incident has sparked outrage among locals, with many demanding strict action against those responsible.
