Investigation and Public Complaints
Preliminary investigations suggest a cross-border element to the racket, with women being brought in from outside the state to serve a primarily local clientele. Officials noted that the department had been receiving a steady stream of public complaints and confidential tips over the past few days concerning "immoral activities" at the establishment. The resort, identified in local reports as Lego Resort, was also found to be operating without a valid license. A case has been officially registered at the Roing Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA).

Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Mama Natung commended the police team, led by Ringu Ngupok, for their swift intervention. In a social media statement on Monday, the Minister reaffirmed the state’s stance on such operations. "Our government maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards social evils and illegal activities," Natung stated. He emphasised that the establishment was operating illegally and assured that the law would take its "strictest course" to protect the state from exploitation.
