According to the police, in a statement later Limasutsung said he had a fight with his cousin over some issue in the morning following which he inflicted injuries upon himself. Thereafter, the two allegedly panicked and concocted the story. A senior police officer said that Limasutsung was out of danger now and that the FIR was registered after the hospital authorities informed the police about a man with stab injuries being admitted to the hospital.
Incidentally, the North-East Support Centre and Helpline was not aware of the incident. Its spokesperson Madhu Chandra said they had not received any call about this from the victims. “I have received several calls, but I am completely unaware of any such happening.”
