Assam Police CID camp in Delhi, issue notice to Mizoram MP Vanlalvena

New Delhi, July 30

The Assam Police has summoned Mizoram' Rajya Sabha MP K Vanlalvena on August 1 for questioning over his alleged "threatening statement" in connection with the Monday violence along the interstate border while pasting a notice at his Delhi residence.

The Assam Police CID visited Vanlalvena's residence and the Mizoram House looking for him and pasted this notice outside his residence after reportedly not finding him there.

The Assam Police also said it will take "lawful action" against Vanlalvena who had allegedly made a "threatening" statement over the border clash in which five policemen and a civilian were killed.

"It has come to light that you have given a threatening statement in media targetting civil and police officials in connection with the incident which is a subject matter of investigation.

"Therefore, there are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain facts and circumstances from you," the Assam Police notice read.

The Mizoram MP has been asked to appear before the Officer-In-Charge of the Dholai police station in Assam's Cachar district at 11 am on August 1 "without fail".

Earlier, Special Director General of Assam Police G P Singh had said that a team of the state CID would visit Delhi to take action against Vanlalvena, who is currently in the national capital for attending the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament.

On Wednesday night, Singh has tweeted, "@assampolice team including officers of CID are leaving for Delhi to take lawful action relating to conspiracy behind the incident in light of media interview of Rajya Sabha MP Sri K Vanlalvena indicative of his active role in conspiracy."

The Assam Police is also trying to find out the original recording of Vanlalvena's interview to news channels and plans to examine him on his statements after the clashes.

Speaking outside Parliament Wednesday, Vanlalvena told reporters, "More than 200 policemen entered our territory and they pushed back our policemen from our own posts and they gave firing orders first, before we fired. They are lucky that we didn't kill them all. If they come again, we shall kill them all."
