An irate populace of Thanga has demanded death penalty for alleged rape accused (55yrs) from Keirenphabi Mamang Leikai who sexually assaulted a young girl (21yrs) from his neighbour, during a sit-in-protest staged at Keirenphabi Market Shed under Thanga AC, today.
While speaking to media persons during the protest demonstration, mother of the alleged victim said that the accused, who has a family, called her daughter in his room and outrage her modesty in October last.
Saying that she came to know about the incident on June 19 when the two were seen quarrelling near the local pond, she added that her daughter didn't narrate about the incident to anyone for nearly a year as the accused had threatened to kill her family members if she did.
The accused is a habitual rapist and it is not his first, the victim's mother said and appealed the concerned authority to reward him befitting punishment when he is produced before Court tomorrow.
The sit in protest was organised by Keirenphabi Chanura Leisem Lup and JAC formed in connection
