Even if they are clean in their character, shining like a real diamond in the public duties they discharge, there is a need to conduct the investigation and allay the shadow and doubts from the public minds, which are created out of the said suicide note. Or, otherwise, the law needs to take its own course.

The petitioners said they were disturbed to see that the even though the issue has been in public for over two weeks , no demand has been made to begin investigation into the note’s claims.

Pul committed suicide on 9 August 2016 after briefly serving as the CM of Arunachal from February till July. His body was found hanging at the official Itanagar residence, along with a 60-page suicide note.
