Imphal, May 18:
The final arguments on the inquiry probing into the facts and circumstances leading to the death of K Bimol began from today at the State Guest House, Sanjenthong.
Bimol of Moirang was gunned down by Commandos of Imphal East District Police in an alleged staged encounter at Nongren under Lamlai Police Station on December 19, 2004.Advocate Ch Ngongo, who appeared on behalf of the decease and the JAC formed after the killing argued that the youth was gunned down after having arrested by the Commandos.
The charges of the police that three motorcycle borne youths including Bimol had hurled a hand grenade and fired upon the police frisking team at Nongren Chingthak were all fabricated and concocted, the counsel said.
Almost all the statements given by the police are contradictory, the lawyer said, while contending that Bimol was gunned down in a cold-blooded manner in a staged encounter.
Later the counsel appearing on behalf of the police gave his final arguments.
