Imphal, October 02 2011:
IMC Councillor Loushangbam Birjit (39) has alleged that he was beaten up by some supporters of Sericulture Minister Yumkham Erabot this afternoon for sounding horns to a car driven by the Minister's daughter.
Speaking to media persons tonight, Birjit said that he found one car going still in front of his vehicle.
As he sounded his horn, Minister Erabot's daughter came down from the front car and started scolding Birjit using strong offensive words.
"I did not make any reaction.
I only said if she were a man", Birjit conveyed.
Some minutes later, around 20 people came in one Gypsy and two cars and they reportedly assaulted Birjit.
According to Birjit, the assailants included Erabot's son Rosho, Chingangbam Premananda alias Amuba, his elder brother Inaoba and one Thongam Surjit.
