“We are going ahead with it and the case will be decided at a fast track court to expedite justice and punish the guilty. This has been ordered by the Assam CM,” Pegu further added.
Furthermore, the public has demanded a memorial in Animesh Bhutan's name in the area to create awareness and ensure that such incidents are not repeated. “I had a discussion regarding this with the District administration, and we will look for an appropriate place near the spot or nearby to build the memorial,” Pegu said.
