The Assam Police has summoned Mizoram's lone Rajya Sabha MP K Vanlalvena on August 1 for questioning over his alleged "threatening statement" in connection with the Monday violence along the interstate border, and pasted a notice at his Delhi residence.
The Assam Police also said it will take "lawful action" against Vanlalvena who had allegedly made a "threatening" statement over the border clash in which five policemen and a civilian were killed.
Official sources said a team of Assam Police CID, which has arrived in Delhi, visited Vanlalvena's residence and the Mizoram House looking for him without any success.
Sources said Vanlalvena is believed to be avoiding the team. The MP was not available for comments.
Since the Resident Commissioner of Mizoram reportedly refused to receive any notice served on Vanlalvena to join the Assam Police investigation, the CID team pasted the notice on his residence.
"It has come to light that you have given a threatening statement in media targetting civil and police officials in connection with the incident which is a subject matter of investigation.
"Therefore, there are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain facts and circumstances from you," the Assam Police notice read.
The Mizoram MP has been asked to appear before the Officer-In-Charge of the Dholai police station in Assam's Cachar district at 11 am on August 1 "without fail".
