While confirming that there had been various such cases just after the announcement of poll results, Kharkrang said people hesitate to come forward and report the matter to the police making it hard for them to track down the miscreants.
“We were unable to get to the core of the case following no FIR lodged by the victims in many cases”, Kharkrang said adding that there were also cases where victims would lodge a complaint but withdrew it after an hour.
