The probe team will be led by an officer of the rank of additional superintendent of police (ASP).

The ASP will submit a report and, based on it, the police will check the lapses, if any, and take action accordingly.

Meanwhile, the Army has also filed an FIR, claiming that the police severely beat up two Arunachal Scouts personnel, identified as Sepoy Chin Sonam and Sepoy John Samyor, in the Bomdila lock-up on Friday night.

Locals say the sepoys were picked up by the police from the Buddha Mahotsava celebration ground, after they had misbehaved with some women and created nuisance.

Meanwhile, West Kameng SP Raja Bhantia informed that the medical check-up of the two sepoys was conducted, and that they suffered simple injuries which were looked into by the doctor at the Bomdila medical centre.
