Oken came to his parents' home at Mayang Imphal Chirai last morning.
He came across the girl late afternoon and molested her in the name of examining her health condition.
In the evening, the girl narrated to her grandmother all that happened to her during the day.
This resulted in a public uproar.
The brewing tension subsided only when Oken's father assured to bring out her accused son by 10 am today and offered Rs 5 lakhs as compensation to the girl's family.
However, when the local people enquired this morning, Oken and all his family were found already fled away.
The anguished mob started vandalising the house and they were preparing to set it afire when a team of Mayang Imphal police arrived at the scene together with fire tenders.
Thus the house was saved from any further damage.
