Rathedaung  township administrator U Aung Myint Thein  confirmed the incident saying, “It was learned that the incident took place by 9 am this morning. One of my staff informed me about it. I have also spoken to the township police chief over the matter.”

As the police department is yet to make any statement and not responding to the telephone call, it is not possible for Narinjara to reveal all details about the incident.
