Imphal, April 09 2013:
While appealing to the people to stay calm and not to engage in violence, Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam, who also holds the portfolio of Home, has stated that three persons involved in the killing of N Satyabhama have been arrested and the State police have lived up to their commitment that no criminal would be spared.
Addressing media persons at his office chamber in Congress Bhawan here today, Gaikhangam said that the State Government had promised to the people that the culprits would be arrested very soon and it has kept its promise by arresting three persons involved in the killing today.
The arrest of the three persons has been made possible with the co-operation of the people.
However, the role of Manipur Police in tracking down the culprits cannot be ignored, said Gaikhangam and hailed the courage and skilful tactics of Manipur police.
He further stated that if the Manipur Police continues to perform their duties in this tempo, then the level of crimes in the State would decrease to a certain level.
And at the same time, the people should realize that committing crimes is an offence punishable under the law of the land.
Gaikhangam assured that the arrested trio identified as Jamesbond alias Toijamba alias Boy of Thambalkhong Sabal Leikai; Th Jibon of Irilbung and Kshetrimayum Biju alias Helendro of Irilbung Bazaar, who is the prime suspect, would be properly investigated and a charge sheet would be framed against them and see that there is no loopholes in the whole process.
The quantum of punishment to be given would be decided by the law court, he added.
