The Chief Minister reportedly assured the JAC of appropriate actions against anyone involved in the brutal killing of Athuan Abonmai on September 22 .

The JAC also questioned why the Government was so reluctant to tackle the matter despite the assurance they had given to the representatives of the JAC.
