Desire for easy and quick by taking advantage of the prevailing fluid law and order situation has led two members of a gang, trying to exhort money from a gambling place at Chingamkha Meisnam Leikai, bearing brunt of public fury with a good thrashing and finally landing into the custody of a women's body for public exposure of an undesirable kind.
According to information provided by secretary of Salai Apunba Nupi Lamjing Lup, Singjamei Chingamakha Meisnam Leikai Ng Kunjarani, five gun-wielding persons pretending to be security personnel came to the place where Lagao (a kind of gambling game) was in progress at Singjamei Chingamakha Meisnam Leikai at around 10 pm yesterday and they demanded money.
When the people came to know that they were imposters, they were rounded up subjected to a good thrashing.
Out of the five, three managed to escape, but the remaining two landed into the custody of the Lup.
