GUWAHATI
A Superintendent of Police was injured on Thursday when a mob pelted stones at the security forces personnel after the returning officer for the Pongchou-Wakka Assembly constituency in Arunachal Pradesh rejected the nomination of a National People’s Party (NPP) candidate.
Bekir Nyorak, the Deputy Commissioner of the Longding district, said SP Dekio Gumja sustained injuries below his left eye during the stone-pelting, requiring two stitches. The security forces fired several rounds in the air to disperse the mob and bring the situation under control, he said.
