Imphal, November 25 2015:
Family members today strongly negated the claim that a jeweller, who has been handed over to the police, after he was arrested from his residence by troops of 12 Bihar Regiment under 9 Sector AR, is a KCP member.
Taorem Ton alias Tombisana (31) s/o Tomba of Patsoi Part-I was reportedly arrested by a combined team of 12 Bihar Regiment and police commando on Nov 21 around 5 am from his residence.
Addressing reporters today at Manipur Press Club, Taorem (O) Thaja wife of Tombisana said that her husband was picked up by the combined team of security force in the morning of Nov 21 on the pretext of questioning him.
However, a statement issued by the PRO of Hqtrs IGAR (S) claimed Tombisana as a cadre of KCP.
The security personnel woke up her husband and took him along with them without issuing any arrest memo, she said.
Thaja further said that contrary to the claim of the IGAR's PRO, no search operation was conducted at Patsoi Part-I on the day her husband was arrested.
She said that her husband is working at a jewellery at Tharoijam.
He has two daughters.
Urging the authority concerned to release her husband safely, Thaja also appealed to all concerned to extend assistance in this regard.
