The Ao Students’ Conference (AKM) has issued a strong condemnation of the rape incident committed allegedly by Sumon Subba (27 years), son of Jay Bahadur Subba, on September 30, 2025, at Mokokchung Town.
The victim, a student, was brutally subjected to this inhuman act, which AKM has described as not only a crime against an individual but an affront to the entire society.
AKM stated that the incident has gravely shaken the community and demanded that the police and administration treat the matter with utmost seriousness and urgency. It insisted that mere assurances would not suffice and called for the accused to be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law with
justice delivered swiftly.
The AKM warned that any negligence or leniency in handling the case would be seen as a failure of the authorities to uphold their responsibility of protecting citizens.
The organization further demanded that the administration and law-enforcing agencies immediately strengthen safety measures, particularly for women and students, and maintain strict vigilance to prevent recurrence of such heinous crimes.
At the same time, AKM appealed to young people to exercise extreme caution while using social media, warning that online friendships with strangers can be dangerous and meeting random people after befriending them online must be strictly avoided. It stressed that awareness and vigilance are crucial for ensuring safety in the digital age and urged parents, guardians, and students to take this matter seriously.

AKM declared that it will not remain a silent spectator to injustice and will take every necessary step if authorities fail to act decisively.
Expressing solidarity, AKM said it stands firmly with the victim and her family during this time of deep anguish and reaffirmed that acts of brutality will never be tolerated under any circumstance. It reminded the authorities that justice delayed is justice denied, and stressed that the onus now lies with the police and administration to restore public trust by ensuring speedy justice.
