Imphal, May 06 2012: The Joint Action Committee against the inhumane gang raped of ******* and brutal killing of Keisham Premila Devi strongly condemned the inactive and slow progress of the State Government in processing the cases.

A release issued by the convenors of the JAC noted that the slow progress in the final disposal of the cases might lead to get a chance to the culprits for taking undue advantages on their part for getting anticipatory bail through unfair means like bribery.

Recalling that the joint JAC was formed in conjunction with other civil society organisations in the State, it further stated that the JAC would go jointly with other like minded social organisations to obtain justice on the heinous crimes committed by the miscreants which also involved security personnel of the State Government.

A representation in this regard has also been submitted to the Chief Minister for taking stunt action against the culprits, added the release.

The release further stated that the two JACs already submitted memorandums separately to the Chief Minister and Home Minister to sentence capital punishment to the culprits and to take a concrete decision on the floor of the Manipur State Assembly to set up an Act to protect woman in the State against any sort of crime.

***** of Longlei village, Khoupum, Tamenglong was gang raped by four persons including two security personnel on March 22 at Keinou.
