LONGDING, 28 Aug: Some miscreants entered into the official residence of the Longding PWD division executive engineer on Friday evening and forcibly took away cash from him.
“The miscreants physically assaulted the officer and ransacked the house when he refused to pay,” said a source, quoting the officer.
