Imphal, October 08 2014:
Patsoi locals today staged a sit-in protest to denounce the brutal assault of Nambol PS OC, Inspector Lisham Premchand, of Patsoi Part-I .
The sit-in that was staged at Patsoi Heiningkhong Keithel was organised by the Patsoi Part I-IV Joint Development Organisation.
Pradhan and members of Patsoi GP, members of youth club and meira paibis attended the sit-in.
Speaking at the occasion, secretary of the JDO said that the brutal assault of Inspector L Premchand who went to perform his duty by some locals at Nambol Maibam Chingmang Mamang Leikai, Naorem Kolup in the night of Sept 30 and the subsequent targeting of media persons who went to cover the event with lethal weapons was outrageous.
He urged the authority concerned to immediately book the culprits involved in the incident while adding that the State Govt should bear the responsibility.
It may be recalled that Inspector Premchand was assaulted by locals when a team of police led by the OC tried to arrest a ganja dealer in the night of Sept 30 .
The mob also burnt down the police Gypsy.
Later, the locals also chased reporters who went there to cover the incident with lethal weapons.
Inspector L Premchand is currently undergoing treatment at Shija Hospital.
