Imphal, April 25 2017:
A sit-in-protest was staged by women folk at Top Khongnang Makhong today against the frequent detention of a man by police.
The man has been identified as Khullem Jiten (40) s/o Kendrajit of Naoremthong Khullem Leikai presently staying at Top Khongnang Makhong.
Speaking to media persons, L Taruni, one of the women protestors said that Jiten was pulled up by a team of Lamphel police from his residence yesterday at around 7.40 pm.
She admitted that a case has been pending against Jiten in the Court but he was repeatedly interrogated by Lamphel police without any concrete reasons.
She claimed that Jiten returned home from Lamphel PS yesterday evening at around 5 but got arrested again from Top Khongnang Makhong.
Asking as to why he was not arrested while being detained at the police station, she said that the frequent detention of the man has created fear psychosis to his family members and locals.
