A rights body has sought accountability for the arrest of a minor girl under an anti-terror Act in Arunachal Pradesh.
In an order on May 25, the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) of the State’s Papum Pare district pulled up the police and Home Department officials for illegally detaining a 15-year-old girl for 16 days from May 10, instead of producing her before the board within 24 hours, as required by the law.
