A lawyer in Mandalay said that Lawyer Daw Ruk Nu Aung was arrested on her way back from Wobo Prison, and it is unclear why she was arrested. After Daw Ruk Nu Aung's arrest, her office was also searched. The arrest of Daw Ruk Nu Aung could affect the progress of Zaw Myint Maung's involvement.

Daw Ruk Nu Aung is one of the lawyers representing former Mandalay Governor Zaw Myint Maung and is also a member of the Bar Association, where she is responsible for several lawsuits involving former government officials, including Aung San Suu Kyi and NGO Central Executive Committee member U Wenteng.

In addition, Daw Ruk Nu Aung is also the lawyer for the child victims of the sexual assault of young children in the Wisdom Hill kindergarten in NayPyidaw and the defense lawyer for the arrested editor Swe Win.

Needless to say, the case involving the NLD high-level has not been revealed, and the sexual assault case of young children in The Wisdom Hill Kindergarten in NayPyidaw has not yet been revealed since the 2019 case.

In May 2019, a case of sexual assault of young children occurred at The Wisdom Hill Kindergarten in NayPyidaw, which attracted national attention and even alarmed the then national leaders, while the victimized girls were identified on the spot and did not let the murderers arrest.

Behind this case, it seems that there is a big hand covering up the truth of the incident. Although the police officers involved in the investigation and trial by the relevant departments were also duly punished, the perpetrators of the case are still at large. Because of the epidemic, the case has gradually faded from the public eye.
