Assam cabby murdered in Arunachal

ITANAGAR: A taxi-driver from Assam has been found murdered allegedly by a gang of car-lifters at Likabali in Arunachal Pradesh's West Siang district.

"Asar Ali (25) was picked up by three criminals from the Naharlagun taxi stand before being taken to Likabali on July 27. He was found murdered there. The Arunachal Pradesh government should immediately order a probe into the incident," the All Lakhimpur District Minorities Students' Union said in a memorandum to chief minister Jarbom Gamlin on Tuesday.

The union also urged the chief minister to provide Ali's family with a financial aid of at least Rs 5 lakh. "A resident of Bihpuria in Lakhimpur, Asgar was the sole bread-winner for his family. His ageing parents, pregnant wife and two younger brothers have now become helpless," a representative of the union said.

The students' union added that the Arunachal government should take steps to ensure security for the people of Assam living in the frontier state.
