The Takam Mising Porin Kebang (TMPK), the apex student body of the Mising community, has launched a protest blockade at Jonai in Assam’s Dhemaji district, demanding justice for the gruesome killing of 22-year-old Prabash Doley, a daily wage labourer from the Mising tribe, in Chimpu, Arunachal Pradesh.
TMPK’s External Affairs Secretary, Redeep Jack Doley, stated that the agitation began at 6 AM on Monday from Dekapam village, the victim’s native place, and marks the first phase of a broader statewide movement. The organisation has demanded life imprisonment for the accused and adequate compensation for Doley’s bereaved family.
The union has also urged Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu to intervene personally and transfer the case to Assam’s Dhemaji district to ensure a fair and transparent investigation.
“We will be submitting a memorandum to CM Khandu. His continued silence, along with that of Arunachal’s civil societies and student bodies, is deeply disappointing,” Redeep told NewsFy, while appealing to people on both sides of the border to maintain peace and harmony.
According to police reports, Prabash Doley, a resident of Misamora village in Dhemaji, was employed at a construction site near a Bharat Petroleum outlet in Chimpu. On the night of June 18, he was allegedly attacked with a sharp weapon by Tai John (26), the owner of a nearby car wash. The incident reportedly followed an altercation over noise generated during construction activities.
Doley was discovered critically injured by the roadside and later declared dead. His body was sent for post-mortem at TRIHMS, Naharlagun. The accused has been arrested by the Capital police and is currently in custody.
TMPK has warned of intensifying its agitation if the demands are not met and justice is delayed.
