The women protesters came in a large group and led a protest march shouting slogans and demanding the guilty to be brought to book.
A memorandum was also submitted to the Deputy Commissioner regarding the incident. Earlier the women protesters held a meeting at the Buddha Peace Park and began their protest rally from there.
Two Arunachal Scouts personnel were taken into custody by the police for allegedly misbehaving with women during the Buddha Mahotsav.
The next day saw a large number of Arunachal Scouts coming over and vandalising the police station as an act of revenge.
