KSA alleges police atrocity

IMPHAL | Jan 9

The Kangleipak Student’s Association (KSA) has vehemently condemned Bishnupur police’s alleged atrocity on January 8, in which three college students were reportedly arrested, beaten and harassed at the police station, the family members threatened and money taken from the students.    

A release said two students studying at Imphal College and one studying at Thambal Marik College had come for a haircut at Bishnupur Bazar around 12. 30 when they were picked up by a team of Bishnupur police. They were beaten and threatened by allegedly by making several false charges by the police, it said. The senior members of the family were also threatened and the students were later released after taking money from them, the release alleged.

It is appealed to the CM to draw his attention to the issue and suspend the police officials namely SDPO, Binoy and SI Devjit who are allegedly involved in violating the students who are workers of KSA Bishnupur District Council, it said. It is most unfortunate that the workers of the organisation which is working hard for the betterment of students, were threatened and arrested under false charges, the release maintained. Even if Anti Corruption cells are opened, Bishnupur police have arrested students under false charges and released later after allegedly extorting money out of them. Therefore, the chief minister is appealed to suspend the mentioned officials and take appropriate actions against them, it added.
