Assam Tribune | New Delhi, June 13
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has directed the Manipur Government to pay Rs 5 lakh as monetary relief to the next of kin of Sorokhiabam Jibon Singh, who was killed in an encounter at Chandanadi Lamkhai, Imphal West district on July 1, 2009. It has given eight weeks time for compliance report and proof of payment.
The Commission, while recommending the monetary relief, observed that in the facts and circumstances of the case, even assuming that there was an encounter as claimed by police, there could be no justification for such excessive use of force. It also observed that the police exceeded the right of defence.
