Dorphang was booked under the POCSO Act three years ago for alleged sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl, who had fallen victim to a sex racket.
The former MLA was arrested from an inter-state bus terminus (ISBT) at Gorchuk in Guwahati after complaints were filed against him by the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR).
The 14-year-old had identified him in a photograph as one of the accused, who allegedly raped her multiple times.
