This precaution comes in response to past incidents where inaccurate information about the festival led to misunderstandings among those unfamiliar with its significance.
When Hub News tried to get more information, a top police official neither denied nor acknowledged these connections and speculations. He simply remarked, “As of now the case is under investigation and they (arrested NLCN members) have not revealed anything on this.”
