Imphal, January 05 2012:
A protest demonstration was staged today at Sagoltongba Lanshonbi Bazar denouncing the act of shooting and injuring Khwairakpam (O) Jamuna w/o Kh Niti of Sagoltongba by some unidentified persons.
People of Yurembam Gram Panchayat who took part in the protest demonstration maintained that the practice of extortion by threatening people and shooting Jamuna without giving any reason were all inhuman crimes.
It is reported that a faction of KCP-MC demanded Rs 5 lakhs from Yurembam GP Pradhan Laishram (O) Chaobihal.
After negotiation, the amount was reduced to Rs 50,000 and Jamuna delivered the money yesterday.
But Jamuna was shot on her way home.
