Imphal, July 12 2011:
Accused Yumnam Rajen, who allegedly violated the modesty of a 16-year old minor, living not just next door but also related, has been remanded to judicial custody.
The house of the accused 54-year old Yumnam Rajen located at Sagolband Meino Leirak, Meisnam Nongthombam Leikai had been earlier destroyed by infuriated local people and all his other family members banished from the locality in the intervening night of July 7 and 8 after the victim revealed the crime to her grandmother.
Rajen, who surrendered to the police in the night of July 7, was produced before the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), Imphal West today.
Following an order from the Court, he was subsequently remanded to judicial custody.
An FIR has already been registered against Rajen in the City Police Station.
