around 4 pm near the New Market area by unknown individuals in an
auto-rickshaw.
- The incident gained attention after it began circulating on
social media platforms.
- When contacted, Dimapur Commissioner of Police Kevithuto
Sophie confirmed that no formal complaint had been filed by the victim’s
family. “It is difficult for the police to investigate such cases in the
absence of an official complaint,” he said.

left Dimapur and is currently in Wokha with his parents.
