IMPHAL, April 19: There is now a twist in the RK Diamond murder case, in which the suspect Thangjam Barun is under Police Custody for further interrogation.
His mother Th Neelima in a press meet today held at Manipur Press Club said that her son was produced before the court yesterday, was earlier thrashed by a mob formed in another murder case. She continued that the mob was known to be related with the murder case of Albert from Langol.
Neelima said that her son`™s story has been flashed all over media and now it has become a question of dignity for her son even if he is found not guilty. She expressed the charge against her son is prejudicial and this will be revealed soon after a corrigendum from those who made the initial charges. She urged all concerned to have a corrigendum at the earliest to vindicate her son`™s innocence.
The press meet was conducted by Th Barun`™s family, Tebi Leima Nupi Lup, Tebi Leima Mayai Leikai Nupi Lup, Lebi Leimai Lai Committee and Kongba Students`™ Club.
General secretary Kongba Students`™ Club Takhellambam James expressed that Th Barun who was held for interrogation regarding the death of RK Diamond is innocent and physical assault by the unknown mob is regrettable.
He said he is unfairly charged with RK Diamond`™s death. He asserted the fateful incident was not related with Barun.
He said Barun was with four other friends to take part in a `Thabal Chongba`™ and therefore could not have been with the murdered man RK Diamond at the time of the murder.
He said that Barun was with his other friends at the Thabal Chongba and returned home late by 11:30 pm.
He said the physical assault by an unrelated mob was regrettable and urged clarification from their side. He lamented the incompetence of state police force to let it happen as Barun was under police custody when the assault happened. He further appealed not to let such incident recur in future.
