Imphal. April 30 NNN: Missing Don Bosco School student Takhellambam Rahul was reportedly found in Japhou Bazar of Chandel on Monday afternoon.
According to unconfirmed source, Rahul was about to board an auto rickshaw when two of his seniors spotted him and reported to elders of the area who in turn took the student to Chandel police station.
Till the time of the filing of this story, it was learned that parents along with the JAC members of the missing student had rushed to Chandel to fetch Rahul.
Takhellambam Rahul was reportedly abducted by a faction of KCP for a ransom.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, many students organisations have threatened to lock up government offices of different departments from May 8, if the state government does not take up appropriate steps timely to book the culprits of the murder of Richard Loitam and the kidnappers of Takhellambam Rahul.
This was stated in a joint press meet of All Manipur Students Union (AMSU), Democratc Students Alliance of Manipur (DESAM), Manipur Students Federation (MSF), Kangleipak Students Association (KSA), Students Welfare Association of Kangleipak (SWAK), and Students Union of Kangleipak (SUK) by the president of AMSU, Th. Suresh at AMSU head office, D.M.College campus, Imphal.
The students’ organizations accused the government of Manipur of not pressing the Karnataka government to take up quick and suitable steps to book the culprits involved in the death of Richard Loitam, who was a student of Architecture studying in the Acharya NRV School of Architecture, Bangalore.
Richard reportedly died on April 18 after being brutally beaten up on the night before his death by some of the students of the hostel in which Richard was staying over an insignificant matter. There has been no arrest made so far in connection with the death of the Manipuri student, as Karnataka police is claiming that the death of Richard is due to injuries received in an accident a few days ago by the victim.
The government of Manipur has also been accused of not making necessary effort to track down Takhellambam Rahul, a student of Don Bosco School, Chingmeirong, who had gone missing since April 21.
The six students’ organization will launch a series of agitation, starting with a sit-in protest on May 4 by school students in all the districts of Manipur, and a human chain will be made the next day on May 5 to demand prompt steps from the government of Manipur to solve the problems, stated the president of AMSU.
A mass students’ rally will be organized on May 7, and if no positive response is visible from the side of the state government till then, the six students” organizations will start locking up offices of the government in the state, added Th. Suresh.
The general secretary of DESAM, A. Thoithoi said that the state government has totally failed in addressing the problems and grievances of the students. He added that the kidnapping of Rahul and demanding of ransom for his release is a terrorist act which should be condemned by all, and appealed to all the students and civil societies of the state to support the agitation of the students’ organizations.
Now that the people know that Kangleipak Communist Party (Ningomba), an armed outlawed organization of Manipur, is responsible for the kidnapping of Rahul, the people of Manipur should boycott them and declare them as a terrorist gang, said Thoithoi.
