In response to a call attention motion raised by MPP MLAs Dr I Ibohalbi and RK Anand in connection with the killing of Rameshwori during the Assembly session today, Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh, who is also in charge of the Home portfolio said along with registering a case, the SDPO Moirang has been entrusted with the task of investigating the case as the Investigating Officer (IO).

Following the probe, the two KCP (MC) activists involved in the killing have been identified as Ngangom Khelendro alias Angouba of Napetpalli Mamang Leikai in Imphal East and Kshetrimayum Kritibas of Thinungei Maning Leikai.

As Khelendro managed to escape after being arrested, he has been declared as a problaimed offender by the Court and non-bailable warrant to arrest him has been issued.

The two are hiding outside Manipur and efforts are on to arrest them, said the CM and added once they are arrested, the reason behind the killing would be known.

The Chief Minister further informed the House that the State Government has provided ex-gratia to the bereaved family and one of the sons of the deceased has been offered the post of Sub-Inspector in the Police Department in accordance with the qualification and wishes of the son.

Ibobi also observed that with everyone coming to lodge their complaints to the Chief Minister instead of approaching the DGP, DC and SP concerned whenever there is alleged killing or abduction of an innocent person, a problem has been created.

However, during the course of investigation, it came to light that there is one reason or the other behind the killing or the abduction.

Along with providing security coverage to all those officers who are under threats in accordance to the intelligence report, review meetings are being held every week to control the law and order.
