TURA: The leaders of Garo Students’ Union, East Zone clarified that a man arrested by police for raping a minor in Songsak was removed from the organisation over a month ago.
The secretary of GSU Songsak unit, Riprap T Sangma was arrested on September 15 following an FIR filed by the family of a minor girl whom he had raped multiple times leading to her impregnation.
He threatened the girl to conceal the crime but was caught after she was found to be pregnant and had told her family of her ordeal.
“The accused person Riprap had already been impeached following complaints by the local unit in Songsak. He was impeached on Aug 21 and is no longer a member of our organisation,” informed the GSU in a statement.
Condemning the rape of the minor by Riprap, the student union stated that the accused had done mischief in his personal capacity and not as a leader of the GSU.
