Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women has asked the government to pay a compensation of Rupees 5 lakhs each to the minor victims of MMS case involving Daporijo police station.

On June 12, 2009, police had picked up the boy and the girl and forced them to have sex inside the police station while they recorded it on a cell phone. The MMS was in circulation for many months but it was brought into notice by the authorities only after the boy’s father registered a complaint.

APSCW chairperson Komoli Mosang demanded that a high level enquiry should be appointed to investigate the case and the committee should be headed by an officer not below the rank of Superintendent of police, preferably an IPS officer.
