A police constable in Arunachal Pradesh is facing serious disciplinary and legal action after he was allegedly caught in the act of purchasing drugs. The incident occurred in the Lower Subansiri district, where Constable Pangam Pangsa was reportedly intercepted by vigilant residents of Ziro while in the middle of a drug transaction with peddlers. According to those who witnessed the event, locals confronted the constable and reportedly confirmed financial dealings with the peddlers by verifying online money transfer records, solidifying the allegations against him.
The incident has sparked outrage among the residents, who are now pressuring the Superintendent of Police, Lower Subansiri, to take swift and stringent measures. They are calling for both strict disciplinary proceedings within the department and full legal prosecution for the alleged offense. Furthermore, the concerned citizens highlighted a broader issue they believe is fueling the state’s drug crisis: the unmonitored movement of uniformed personnel across various district boundaries, which they claim is contributing significantly to the worsening drug menace in Arunachal Pradesh.
