Arunachal Pradesh deputy speaker’s son arrested for murdering youth Congress leader

Kajum Bagra, son of Deputy Speaker of Arunachal Pradesh assembly Tumke Bagra was on Tuesday arrested in connection with murder of Congress leader Kenjum Kamsi.

Kenjum Kamsi was shot dead by Tumke Bagra, the son of the deputy speaker, in front of a hotel at Aalo on Monday night at around 10 pm.

The incident is believed to have been a fallout of a scuffle between the two. The matter is being further probed. The accused has been arrested with the arm by Aalo police and a case has been registered.

Meanwhile, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee has condemned the incident and said Kajum using his father's official vehicle and committing such "heinous crime" proved the saying 'like father like son'. "The tragic incident also reflects the true colour of the BJP to which the deputy speaker belongs. It raises a serious question," the party said.
