Bowing down to the unrelenting public pressure, the Manipur government has decided to ask CBI to investigate Irom Roger Singh murder case. On Monday evening, the Manipur cabinet met at the chamber of chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh and resolved to hand over the Roger murder case to the premier investigation agency.
A group of angry women from Wangkhei staged a demonstration on Monday in protest against the incident. The opposition BJP also joined the ongoing mass protest against Roger's murder and sought the resignation of Okram if Biren did not step down from his ministerial post.
BJP's Manipur unit president Sh Shantikumar Sharma expressed concern over the alleged misuse of weapons by ministers and by their kin. "Despite the simmering anger of the people, Biren is silent. The chief minister should resign owing moral responsibility," Shantikumar said.
Referring to Roger's killing, Okram has said his government would not spare anyone who commit such crime.
