Imphal, June 08 2009:
A youth who sped away without paying any heed to the halt-call by Village Defence Force (VDF) personnel was chased together with MR personnel and nabbed after firing a round in the air.
The youth has been identified as Lourembam Boycha (23) s/o Lolita of Kakwa Maibam Leikai, informed a police source.
He was nabbed by a combined team of VDF personnel, attached to Lilong police station and a team of MR from Lilong Chajing Mamang Leikai after a hot chase.
Boycha was riding a scooter when he was asked to halt by VDF personnel in front of Lilong police station.
But he sped away resulting in the chase.
As the VDF personnel could not close in on Boycha, a team of MR personnel who happened to pass by the area joined the chase and fired about 25 rounds in the air.
In the haste, Boycha knocked at a truck on the road and ran away towards paddy fields.
He was nabbed from a pond.
Later, it turned out that Boycha was a drug abuser.
