A 19-year-old man was found dead in his rented accommodation in Lekhi village near Itanagar on October 23, with a suicide note naming two senior government officials and alleging prolonged sexual abuse and harassment.

Gomchu Yekar's body was discovered around 11 am after a neighbour noticed his door open and received no response when calling out. Police have registered a case of unnatural death under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita at Nirjuli police station.

The victim's father, Tagom Yekar, has filed an FIR accusing IAS officer and former deputy commissioner Talo Potom and Rural Works Department executive engineer Likwang Lowang of abetment to suicide. The complaint alleges his son faced sustained harassment and coercion from both officials.
