United Core Committee of Anti-Social Elements Kiyamgei Muslim (UCCASEKM) staged a sit-in at Kiyamgei Muslim Mayai Leikai condemning the alleged act of the Police trying to arrest an individual under false charge.
A team of commando led by OC of Irilbung Police Station had tried to arrest Md Ahamad Raja (52) s/o Haji Siraj Ahamad yesterday at around 6 PM under charge that he was a drug peddler from his home in Kiyamgei Muslim Mayai Leikai, however he was left after the locals came out against the arrest under false charge.
Speaking at the sit-in protest, Ahamad Raja, who is also secretary general of UCCSEKM, said the Police had conducted raid in his house for suspicion of being involved in drug business.
However they tried to take me forcibly as they were unable to find any illegal items from his house, he added.
Ahamad Raja added that he has been involved in anti-drug campaign in the area since 2018 as member of UCCASEKM and it was really unfortunate that he was being accused as a drug peddler.
He also said if any anti-drug raid is to be conducted in the area, the Gram Panchayat and youth club should be informed and all SOP should be observed.
