November 9: The Dzüdotsomi Clan of Porba Village has issued a public clarification stating that Mr. Shekho Thuluo was never authorised or mandated to represent the family or Mr. Vezhoto Hesuh.
The clan said Thuluo’s claim of representing the family during a press conference on November 3 was “baseless” and appealed to the public, social media users and the media not to recognise him as a representative of the family or clan.The clan also opposed his reported demand for withdrawal of the FIR against Forest Department officials in exchange for the release of the concerned person, involving a demand of ₹1 lakh.
It termed the move an attempt to derail the process of justice and reiterated its commitment to pursuing the matter through a fair and time-bound investigation.The Dzüdotsomi Clan further rejected claims that the family was not consulted, stating that its chairman and other family representatives were present during meetings and the signing of relevant documents on October 14. The clan assured full cooperation with investigating authorities and reserved its legal rights and remedies in the matter.
