Kangpokpi, June 10 2017:
Negating the clarification of KNO/KRA over the assault of K Phaijol Baptist Church Secretary, Kuki National Front (KNF) slammed KNO/KRA for their alleged crime over the Church secretary.
Information and Publicity Secretary KNF Lh Stephen, said that KRA's denial on physical assault of Kaikam Kipgen is not acceptable.
He stated that Kaikam Kipgen was interrogated and mercilessly tortured throughout the night as a result of which he sustained head injury and fractured his hands and added that the authorities concerned should take appropriate action against the two commanders responsible for the assault.
He further said, "KRA admitting to the fact that they had abducted and interrogated Kaikam Kipgen on the night of June 6 is appreciated but their denial about the physical torture is not acceptable to his family, villagers and to KNF" .
He further said that such senseless claim and inhuman act of KRA is an insult to the security forces and the Government as they (KRA) operated with arms outside their designated camp, considering the SoO ground rule which said that armed groups should stay in their respective designated camps.
