IMPHAL | Dec 22
Thadou Students’ Association (TSA) has issued an ultimatum to the Home department, government of Manipur for failing to bring justice in the Sugnu double murder case, which happened on May 5.
TSA has stated in a release that no action has been taken against the culprits to bring justice even after seven months of the unfortunate incident. If the government is serious about the heinous crime and consider the MoU submitted by the JAC on May 6, the culprits would have been arrested long time ago and justice would have been delivered, it added.
In connection with this murder case, a team of TSA had met with the Superintendent of Police, Kakching district on December 12 at his Chamber in the presence of SDPO Kakching and Sugnu, which was also followed up by the students’ association. There had also been a press release urging the authority to take effective actions for speedy justice, however, no satisfactory action has been taken up to date, said the release.
It further stated that TSA is now compelled to launch an intense agitation in the state, demanding the state government for immediate action against the case and bring justice within January 10, 2018.
