Former Chandel ADC Chairman Lhukhosei Zou has threatened to file a defamation suit against MPS officer Th Brinda and some 'unruly' forums if they do not stop using defamatory terms like 'drug lord', 'drug kingpin etc in reference to his name.
A press release issued by Lhukhosei Zou decried that Th Brinda and some other people have been using terms drug lord, drug kingpin etc together with his name.
Notably Lhukhosei Zou was acquitted of a multi-crore drug seizure case by the Special Court, ND&PS on December 17 .
"I appreciate Mrs Th Brinda.
the then ASP, NAB for returning the Gallantry Award conferred by the Chief Minister for her role on War on Drugs as she herself admitted that she could not prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
She should also clarify if the Gallantry Award was awarded for the arrest of me or the War on Drugs", Lhukhosei added.
