In an interview to CNN-IBN, the Head Constable, Herojit Singh, made the confessions on killing an unarmed Chungkham Sanjit Meitei in 2009 .
According to Singh, he pumped bullets into the former PLA militant acting on orders from his senior, the then Additional Superintendent of police in Imphal.
He said that he shot at Meitei with a 9 mm pistol on chest.
Singh also claimed that the Manipur DGP and Chief Minister were in the know, adding that now he fears for his life.
Reacting to the confessions of Singh, Meitei's mother demanded that either the Government must ensure justice for her, or Singh should be handed over to her so that she can avenge the murder of her son.
