The five arsonists have been handed over to the special investigation team and transferred to the state capital for further investigation.

There was a lookout in place for these members of the AYSU ever since the arson was perpetrated.

On one hand, AYSU assured the Changlang district administration that the president and other members will surrender on Tuesday, but on the other hand, they just crossed Namdapha National Park very tactfully under the cover of dense forest and crossed Namsai and Lohit districts and reached Roing.
