Imphal, October 03 2015 :
The unwanted incident at Moijing yesterday, wherein NAB personnel were attacked and two of their vehicles set ablaze, occurred due to communication gap, Moijing GP pradhan Ali Hassan said today.
Speaking to reporters today, Ali Hassan said that the public were suspicious of the conduct of armed NAB personnel who came there in civil dress along with security personnel.
The NAB personnel never came in civil dress along with security personnel before.
Conceiving that some unknown miscreants had harassed Ashlam Khan's family, the locals went berserk and attacked the vehicles, Hassan said.
The pradhan said that the tension subsided after the public learnt that those armed persons in civil dress were NAB personnel after the arrival of a team of Thoubal PS.
The locals later extended cooperation to the security forces.
The pradhan urged all concerned to give prior information to local leaders in case any operations are to be launched in the area so that such incidents do not recur.
