They have also intimated the Chief Minister and the MoS Home about it and are positive that the truth will be uncovered.
Further, the Bharatiya Janata Party Kurung Kumey district unit has unanimously resolved to urge the state government to conduct CBI or SIT inquiry into the death of the former MLA.
This resolution was adopted following a meeting of the executive members of BJP KK unit, where the members also paid glowing tribute to late Pinch, who held charge of the district unit.

The former Doimukh MLA died in a tragic accident on Saturday.

The Chief Minister also met the family members and offered them condolences.
He said that Pinch was not only a leader, who always had a strong vision for development of the state, but also a loving and caring father.
