Imphal remembers 'fake-kill' victims
Times of India | TNN | Jul 24, 2011, 11.39AM IST
A large number of people on Saturday paid floral tributes to reformed rebels Chungkahm Sanjit and Rabina Devi who were gunned downed by Manipur police commandos in an alleged fake encounter at Imphal Bazaar on July 23, 2009, even as the bereaved family members are demanding a speedy probe into it to punish the guilty cops.
Incidentally, families of the deceased persons and several local pressure groups stayed away from the inquiry saying that they had no faith in such probe.
Amid tears, mourners, including members of the bereaved families, key leaders of the Apunba Lup and civil bodies paid floral tributes to Sanjit and Rabina at a ground here where a meeting was also held.
"Two years have gone and my son's killers are yet to be punished. This is not fair. We want the CBI to speed up the case and punish the killer commandos, who snatched my son's soul," a broken Taratombi, mother of Sanjit, told TOI.
Seven police commandos, including a sub-inspector, had been suspended in connection with the shootout. During the five-month-long stir period, education system collapsed in the valley areas as three powerful students' organizations boycotted classes on the plea that right to life was more important than right to education.
