Imphal, April 16 2021:
A public meeting will be held at Lainingthou Awangba Shanglen, Khurai Thangjam Leikai on April 17 at 12.30 pm, said Justice for Sanaton Athokpam today.
The decision to hold the meeting was taken during a meeting of the joint action committee with several civil society organisations, it said in a statement appealing people to attend the meeting.
A month on since Sanaton Athokpam was found dead mysteriously inside his room at a RIMS hostel on March 15, the Justice for Sanaton Athokpam and the people have been demanding the police to conduct an impartial investigation and arrest those responsible for the medical student's death.
The locals of Khurai and several clubs and organisations have been staging sit-in protests and blocking roads demanding the police to file an FIR in the case for efficient investigation.
The agitating people and the organisations including the JAC (Justice for Sanaton Athokpam) have also been demanding suspension of the RIMS Director and the Warden of the hostel, where he was found dead.
Even though the Government has ordered a Magisterial enquiry into the case, the postmortem and the inquest report have not been made public.
The police are also yet to confirm the exact cause of Sanaton's death.
Sanaton Athokpam was a 5th Semester MBBS student at RIMS.
