Imphal, May 25 2015 :
The United Chiefs' Forum, Bongbal Kholen Area has strongly condemned the alleged indiscriminate firing of AR personnel at B Gamnom village on May 23 and the cold-blooded murder of Paokholen Khongsai (45) .
In a statement, PK Kipgen and Paojang Kipgen, chairman and secretary respectively of UCFBKA asserted that Paokholen Khongsai was a civilian and the Church secretary of B Gamnom village.
The Forum strongly refuted the claim of the AR that he was a KNF (N) cadre.
The Govt of Manipur should take appropriate action against the 2 AR personnel and deliver justice, the UCFBKA demanded.
It also clarified that the incident occurred at B Gamnom and not Bongbal Kholen or Hengjang village as reported in the media.
It further said that the body of Paokholen will not be claimed until the Govt takes stern action against the culprits involved in the brutal killing.
