3. Some on the bus still refused to identify themselves and only
IBS
requested beverage and food. Accordingly, meals were given them
DCR
by the MP. When night came, the MP asked them to sleep in the
DCRM
bunk-room of the MP Headquarters. They acceeded to this request
and left the bus, hiding their faces.
4. Next morning, the MP invited a few persons of wide acquaintances
to identify these persons by face. After peeping at these persons,
a name list of those who had been on the bus was completed, which
was fully endorsed when it was shown them for confirmation.
5. Accordingly, the MP reported to higher authority the fully
confirmed list of those who had refused identification; since
they turned out to be National Assemblymen, they, under instructions
from higher authority, were set free.
