Earlier on May 20, the authorities in Arunachal Pradesh issued proclamations requiring the appearance of three individuals accused of participating in a recent capital bandh call that disrupted peace in the state. The proclamations, made under section 82 of the Arunachal Pradesh Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act, 2014, have been issued against Teli Yamang, Techi Puru, and Tadak Nalo.

The Preventive Detention orders were initially issued against Teli Yamang, wife of Teli Legi, for her involvement in declaring a three-day capital bandh call from May 10 to 12, 2023. However, despite the authorities' efforts to apprehend her, Teli Yamang has absconded and is evading police detention, compelling the authorities to declare her a proclaimed offender.
