Imphal, September 07 2011:
A six year old minor girl has been allegedly raped by a local youth of about 20 years.
The incident took place on the night of September 3rd at Achanbigei Thongkhong, under Heingang police station.
The accused has been identified as one Heisnam Lemba (20), son of H Mani of Achanbigei Thongkhong.
He is the next door neighbour of the victim.
Relating the incident, the mother of the victim told media persons at a press conference held here at the Manipur Press club that she along with Jamuna( mother of Lemba), Jini (sister-in law of Lemba) and Lemba were sitting together in her kitchen.
Suddenly Lemba went home complaining that he had a headache.
As soon as he left, the lights went off.
When she went to her room to light the room she found Lemba on her bed along with her daughter in an awkward situation, forcibly covering the girl's mouth, she said.
She further said that Lemba's family members requested her rake up the issue, but she declined and took up the matter to the local clubs and meira paibis.
Since the local clubs and meira paibis could not come to any resolution, a case was registered at the Heingang police station yesterday.
The minor girl is in a pathetic condition.
She has been complaining of stomach pain since.
She has also complained that Lemba had been continuing his wretched act 4/5 times before the last incident which occurred on September 3 .
The mother of the victim also appealed to the concern authorities for justice and demanded befitting punishment for Lemba.
