Mizoram will not pursue the ‘theft’ case it registered against Assam Police.
The decision was taken after the alleged stolen construction materials were returned by the Assam police to Mizoram police.
This was informed by Kolasib Superintendent of Police (SP) Vanlalfaka Ralte on Monday.
The Assam Police returned the alleged stolen material following a chat between the officials of both the state police forces.
