Imphal, December 31 2020:
Pouchunguang T Panmei, chairman of Pallong Village has refuted the allegation that NSCN (IM) cadres harassed Arai Abonmai, s/o Athuan Abonmai at Pallong village on December 24 last.
In a statement, the village chairman said that the claims of Athuan Abonmai published in some dailies are all baseless and fabricated.
Pouchunguang also said that they spared and released Arai Abonmai who visited the village with liquor and partying with 'innocent' youth by breaching the standing resolution of the village on humanitarian grounds.
Saying that the 'ugly' incident was created by the 'intoxicated' son of Athuan Abonmei, he continued that the Central Administrative Officer (CAO) has nothing to do with the incident.
