On the otherhand, Burtuk MLA Thapa visited the family of the victim in Pangthang, Upper Sichey.
Thapa shared his condolences for the grave loss suffered by the family and assured the family members that they would get justice.
Thapa said that this is a very heinous crime committed against her and the instant matter falls under the doctrine of rarest of the rare case.
He requested the State to seriously investigate this matter as early as possible and the instant trial must be done in a fast-track court on day to day basis so that justice is not delayed.
At this time, when the public is enraged at the act of barbarity, the State Government and Hon'ble Courts must act swiftly and set a precedent so that a strong message can be sent to perpetrators.
