Condemnation on the killing of Nanao
Imphal, May 04, 2022
Youth’s Forum for Protection of Human Rights (YFPHR) deeply shocked to hear the death of Arambam Nanao (37) s/o (L) Dhananjoy of Sagolband Kangabam Leikai which was reported to have been brutally killed while at the custody of Imphal Police after being picked up from his residence on the allegation of not returning the borrowed Gold by Imphal Police station.
We condemn the act of police for the illegal arrest of civilian without any warrant. Such an act of misuse of power committed by the police with impunity cannot be accepted by the people. We could learn that some of the police officers are exercising their power just to fulfil their individuals needs by forgetting the fact that they are here to protects its citizen.
The violation of human rights committed by the law enforcing agency must be investigated and stringent action may be kindly initiated against those police personnels involved in the killing of Mr. Nanao and other individuals who have instigated to arrest Nanao may also be punished according to the rule of law.
Therefore, we urge the Department of Home to terminate and prosecute those police personnel involved in the killing of Nanao and also urge the Manipur Human Rights Commission (MHRC) to take up suo motto urgently and monitor the investigation process.
Lastly we urge the Law Enforcing Department to stop the misuse of power.
