The Arunachal Pradesh Police on Monday morning arrested former Itanagar Capital Region (ICR) deputy commissioner Talo Potom in connection with the sensational twin suicide case involving allegations of sexual abuse, coercion and corruption, a senior police officer said.

Potom, currently posted as Special Secretary (PWD) with the Delhi government, surrendered at Nirjuli police station here around 7.30 am and was formally arrested, Papum Pare Superintendent of Police Neelam Nega said.

Potom was wanted in a case registered under several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, including those related to abetment to suicide and criminal misconduct.
