Apang's son freed, uncle held
 ITANAGAR, June 27 – A maternal uncle of Getem Apang has been arrested along
with two others for his kidnap, with Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu saying
today that the government could not be blamed if family members were
involved. Getem, who returned home last night along with his music teacher
Narendra Rai who was abducted along with him on June 18 from here, is the
son of former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Gegong Apang.

"It is unfortunate that Getem and his music teacher were abducted from the
heart of the state capital, but what can the government do if family members
are involved in such crimes?" Khandu, who had dislodged Apang in April last
year after revolting against him, told a press conference here.

He said "It is unfortunate that political mileage was sought to be derived
by attempting to show my government in poor light."

Home minister Jarbom Gamlin, who was present, said the arrests were made on
June 21.

Those arrested were Getem's uncle Tahak Tatak and two others following
intelligence inputs from the Assam police, state police and the army, he
said. – PTI
