Itanagar, July 12: The Lower Dibang Valley district administration has sealed Mount Carmel School in Roing after multiple minor girls from the school were allegedly sexually assaulted.

Superintendent of Police Ringu Ngupok said the administration and police are considering serious action against the school authorities. As an initial step, the school has been sealed indefinitely.

In a related development, a mob on Friday dragged a youth from the Roing police station and lynched him. The deceased, identified as Riazul Karim (20), was a construction worker from Assam’s Bongaigaon district.

“The body was handed over to the contractor today after post-mortem and other necessary formalities. It was later sent to Assam with a police escort,” the SP said.

A case (No. 40/2025) has been registered at Roing Police Station under Section 329(4)/75(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), read with Sections 10 and 12 of the POCSO Act. The investigation is ongoing.

Curfew remains in force in Roing, though no further untoward incidents have been reported, the SP added.

To maintain law and order, the administration has deployed four additional companies of security forces, including IRBn, ITBP, and CRPF.

Inspector General of Police P.N. Khirmey is currently stationed in Roing to monitor the situation.
