In the wake of Reang’s death, anger surged in Gandatwisa, leading to vandalism of houses and shops. Dhalai SP Avinash Rai reported that additional police forces were deployed, prohibitory orders were enforced, and internet services were temporarily suspended to prevent further unrest.
Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident. To address the escalating tensions, the Gandatwisa SDM held a peace meeting, assuring that the situation is now under control.
