Imphal, April 06 2016:
The proscribed UNLF has claimed responsibility for the bomb blast at the residence of Aribam Nimai Sharma at Brahmapur Aribam Leikai on April 5 at about 9 pm.
In a statement, the outfit said that the bomb attack was carried out as Nimai Sharma failed to deposit the money that was collected in the name of the UNLF for 2014-2015 .
Despite assurances that the money would be paid by September last year, the amount is yet to be deposited with the outfit, said the statement and added that again February 15, 2106 was set as the date to pay the money.
This again was not adhered to, alleged UNLF and added that instead of trying to deposit the money, Nimai started challenging the party.
The outfit warned Nimai to mend his ways by April 15 .
The statement said that the two persons rounded up by the locals on April 5 are not in any way related with the outfit and added that it would have been better if the locals had tried to understand the reason for the bomb attack and urged them not to spread misinformation about the party.
