Wife accuses husband of selling two children

By A Staff Reporter

IMPHAL | July 15

A woman has lodged a complaint with the Sekmai police station in connection with a child trafficking case against her own husband.

The man, against whom the human trafficking case was lodged, is identified as Yumkham Premjit alias Ibomcha (30) son of (L) Manithoiba of Awang Likinthabi, Imphal West district.

Premjit was alleged by his wife, Elangbam Chanchan (24) daughter of E. Rajen of Sadu Yengkhoman, near Saikul that he sold two of the couple’s children.

The couple now separated had three kids including two sons and one daughter (youngest child).

Chanchan was driven out by her own husband, who allegedly had affairs with a woman then. Chanchan left the home leaving behind her three kids. Her husband allegedly sold the couple’s eldest son, who was two and a half years old to a contractor at Nagamapal at Rs. 7 lakhs.

But four days later the boy was returned to the father by the contractor, identified to be one Chandras, as the child was still under suckling period.

Again in October 2016, Premjit allegedly sold his daughter, one and a half year, to one Khondongbam Premkumar of Heirok Part-II.

According to Chanchan, she heard about her daughter through some relatives but had no idea how much money was taken by her husband for the daughter.

Unable to cope with the news, a desperate Chanchan initially called the helpline number of Childline (1098) and later lodged an official complaint with the ChildLine Thoubal on July 1 last.

Following the complaint, the matter was entered in the general diary of the Heirok police station on July 2 and the case was forwarded to Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Thoubal the following day.

Subsequently, CWC referred the case to the Manipur Commission for Protection for Child Rights (MCPCR).

The MCPCR heard the case on July 10 and directed Premjit to produce the child before the commission.

Failing to do so the child was rescued by the Heirok police and kept under the custody of Specialised Adoption Agency (SAA) Bal Bhawan.

In this connection Chanchan has also lodged a complaint with the Sekmai police station against her husband.
