Soibam Leikai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup staged a sit-in protest denouncing last night's gun attack wherein an unknown miscreant fired three rounds of shots at the residence of Irom Mobi (76) in Soibam Leikai Pakhangba Leirak.
The protest was held at T Radha Community Hall located at Soibam Leikai Wangkhei Khunou today.
Speaking by the sideline of the protest, Keisam Shila Devi, president, Soibam Leikai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup alleged that last night at 7:14 pm, an unknown person fired three rounds of shots at Irom Mobi's residence, with two of the shots hitting a parked Activa and the third one finding its target on the window of Irom Mobi's house.
The culprit allegedly fled after firing the shots.

Reportedly, Irom Mobi's son was outside the house when the incident occurred.
However, the shots were silent and the culprit fled successfully when he attempted to give chase.
Observing the available CCTV footage did not help in identifying the perpetrator as he was wearing a helmet.
Irom Mobi's family accompanied by the locals of the area have also lodged an FIR with Porompat police in this connection.
However, until the filing of this report, no concrete action had allegedly been taken from the side of the police.
In this regard, the Soibam Leikai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup president has demanded the perpetrator to step forward and issue a clarification within the next five days while cautioning that collective agitation will be launched otherwise.
