Imphal, February 07:
The proscribed PREPAK has denied involvement in the alleged demand for mobile phone handsets and money from authorities of the Little Master English School, Shamurou that led to the enforced closure of the education institution.
Reacting to report published in State dailies which quoted founder secretary of the School Moirangmayum Thoiba as saying that activists of PREPAK (VC) group persisted on handing over the three remaining five N-95 series handsets out of the five demanded, in addition to another PREPAK group slapping demand for Rs 10 lakh, Aheiba Angom, in-charge of PREPAK's department of publicity and propaganda rejected the report as totally baseless and unrelated with the outfit.
Apart from categorically denying involvement of the armed group on the matter and suggesting that the same might have been the handiwork of some individual or group with vested interest with the sole purpose of projecting PREPAK organisation as squalid, Aheiba also insisted there is no VC group of the PREPAK.
Describing the report as unfortunate which the outfit views in all seriousness, the publicity in-charge affirmed that the organisation would not relent to act in the toughest manner in case the perpetrator/s do not confess their involvement and surrender at the earliest.
Observing that the founder secretary should have properly studied the situation to find out true antecedents of those who served the material and monetary demands rather than accuse PREPAK in haste, Aheiba Angom asked Thoiba to extend all possible cooperation in nabbing the guilty in the same zeal and spirit as was displayed while conveying the matter through the media.
