Imphal, March 14 2012:
The body of Meitram Ingotombi, who was said to be killed in a reported encounter with security forces on March 12, was claimed today by family members.
It was reported that Ingotombi was killed in an encounter with a combined team of Bishnupur police commandos and troops of 18 Sikh Regiment at Kabow Wakching Maning Canal.
Ingotombi was from Leimaram Makha Leikai in Bishnupur district.
Rubbishing the police claim that he was killed in an encounter, locals of Leimaram in Nambol had staged a sit-in-protest yesterday to denounce the killing under the aegis of a JAC formed in connection with the killing.
The JAC today said that the dead body has been claimed in the interest of the bereaved family.
