Former Manipur Minister seeks justice for Richard Loitam
THE HINDU | BANGALORE, May 9, 2012
Loitam Rajeshkumar, the father of Manipuri student Richard Loitam, who died on April 17 under mysterious circumstances in Bangalore, has appealed to the Karnataka government to order a CBI probe into the matter and arrest the culprits.
A memorandum in this regard was submitted to Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Monday through M. Narasingh, the former Art and Culture Minister of Manipur.
"It is evident that Richard Loitam died because of criminal negligence by the college authorities and every attempt is being made to cover up their negligence. We are afraid justice will be suppressed by money and muscle power. The case smacks of communalism and anti northeast-ism and justice cannot be expected from a prejudiced investigation," he said.
He demanded the arrest of suspects who allegedly assaulted Loitam causing his death, the college authorities including the dean, principal, chief warden, warden, hostel doctor and director (Placement Cell). "This is required to avoid any tampering and destruction of evidence. The most surprising fact is that the college authorities did not even inform the local guardian, Sanju, about Richard's death," he said.
