Kohima: Nagaland student groups are demanding immediate action after a minor girl was allegedly sexually assaulted. The crime occurred on July 7 in Medziphema Town. Accused Pauminlun Gante now faces public outcry. Four major student unions issued a joint condemnation of the incident.
The All Nagaland Gorkha Students Union (ANGSU) called the situation deeply disturbing. They urged local authorities to perform a prompt, impartial investigation. If the allegations hold, the union wants the suspect prosecuted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act of 2012.
