Imphal, December 30 2015 :
Protesters today staged a lightning road block along the Imphal-Ukhrul road at Lamlai demanding the immediate release of five persons arrested in connection with the killing of Tensubam Kemanda (27) s/o T Muhindro.
Later in the evening the houses of five persons accused to be involved in the murder of the youth were torched at Takhel.
Earlier in the day the protesters, under the auspices of the JAC against the killing of Kemanda, who marched from Takhel stormed Lamlai PS around 12.30 pm today.
They later blocked the Imphal-Ukhrul road.
However, the road block was lifted around 2.15 pm after arriving at an understanding during a meeting held between the police and the representatives of the protesters.
Angry locals dismantled the house of one Tensubam Babi (25), an accused in the case who is currently in the custody of Lamlai PS, today at around 5 pm.
