A mob led by members of a students' body on Friday set ablaze several government offices and ransacked a police station in a remote circle of Arunachal Pradesh to protest against filing of nomination papers by former Assam Rifles personnel living there for decades in panchayat election, an official said.
The incident took place at Vijaynagar in Changlang district where ex-employees of the paramilitary force were living since early 1960s. They originally hailed from outside the state but form the majority of the local population now, official sources said.
