IMPHAL, March 27: Several organizations of the state have continued to send in their condemnation of the March 22 gang rape of a woman by four persons including two IRB personnel.

The Kabui Mothers’ Association, KAMA while condemning the act has submitted a memorandum to the chairperson, National Commission for Scheduled Tribes, govt of India informing that the state government has failed to initiate any action against the four accused even though they are kept in the custody of the police.

It has further added that the involvement of security personnel, coupled with the failure of the government to take action against the four, has cast a great doubt of whether the government is trying to come out with a different version so as to cover such inhumane actions.

It has further alleged that the Santro car used in the act belongs to one of the accused while the pistol was given to the perpetrators by one Tiken Singh, Sub Inspector of the Bishnupur Police station, who is a resident of Kongba Laishram Leikai.

Further citing that the government’s ineffective dealing and slow investigation process, it has demanded from the National commission to conduct an investigation into the matter and award befitting and exemplary punishment to the perpetrators.

Meanwhile, the Naga Peoples’ Union Imphal, has also condemned the act in a separate press release.

The Zeliangrong Baudi Manipur has also strongly condemned the incident where an innocent woman was allegedly raped by a gang of four persons on March 22 near Keinou Awang Leikai along the Tiddim Road.

It has further added that when some women of the Kabui Mothers’ Association interrogated the alleged rapists who are at police custody, about a pistol which they had during the incident, they told the women’s association that the pistol was provided to them by one Jiten, a Sub-Inspector at Bishnupur district police, the statement added.

The Zeliangrong body has also urged the concerned authorities not to cover up or defend the four culprits and that they should be punished in a befitting manner.

It further urged upon the government of Manipur to pay compensation to the victim and her family under the Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribes Atrocities Act.

The tribal body has also pledged to put pressure on the state government in collaboration with other like-minded civil bodies in the state and the general public until justice is delivered to the victim, the statement added.

URF condemns alleged rape

IMPHAL, March 27: Amidst the beginning of the new administration of the Congress government in the state, police personnel protecting the law and order committed a ‘heinous crime’ by raping a housewife from Nungleiband village in Leimatak, who sells U-morok (chilli), on March 22 and that just shouting and keeping mum on the incident will not be the right step of the people, the militant outfit United Revolutionary front (URF) said in a release on Tuesday.

The hill people have the responsibility to make the Manipur police, who have proselytized and devoted to the Indian Army, a police force of the public, URF asserted that IRB Havildar, Chungkham Ibocha, IRB rifleman Kshetrimayum Kennedy, Laikhuram Rojit and Salam Bijen, who were involved in the heinous crime must be taken as the ‘enemy of the society.’

They (the four culprits) should be punished by ‘hanging until dead’ by parading in front of the general public and that their parents should also face the harsh treatments of the people, the outfit added.

Cautioning the people against their mandate in the last general elections in which the Congress obtained an overwhelming majority, URF sarcastically questioned the people of Manipur whether it was the fruit of their verdict and what will be the next hope.

The government should abstain from practicing such acts like staging fake encounters, torturing of innocent family members of militants in the state and assisting commitment of terror acts by UG imposters, and that it will be the right step of the government to maintain proper development, transparency, accountability and good governance, it added.

Stating that the URF is all prepared to engage in a political fight with the ruling state government, it challenged the government while suggesting the latter to jointly work out a political strategy.
