Apex court stays trial against IAS officer accused of sexually assaulting two tribal minors

An initial investigation, in July 2021 by the sub-divisional police officer of Noklak, had found the allegations to be true. A Special Investigation Team of the Nagaland Police had also filed a chargesheet in December 2021, finding Wilfred prima facie guilty of aggravated sexual assault, sexual harassment as well as multiple charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. Yet, his trial continues to be delayed in court.
