Former Arunachal Pradesh director of Town Planning and Municipal Affairs, Amoy Morang, was apprehended in Guwahati on Thursday after eluding authorities for over two years in relation to a cheque bounce case, according to police reports. Morang, who resides in Sitpani, Namsai district, had been found guilty by a court on February 22, 2023, under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court mandated that he pay Rs. 1.74 crore, along with an additional Rs. 2 lakh for damages to the complainant. With Morang failing to make the required payment, the court imposed a one-year simple imprisonment sentence. His noncompliance led to multiple non-bailable warrants being issued against him. Eventually, police located and arrested him in Guwahati, as confirmed by Deputy Superintendent of Police (Itanagar) Kengo Dirchi.
