Senapati, February 10 2014:
Furious mob ransacked the regional office of NSCN-IM's Shepoumaramth Region located in Viewland Colony in Senapati district headquarters on Saturday evening.
The mob then took out the furniture of the NSCN-IM office and set them on fire.
The mob fury was built up on Saturday following the killing of a civilian identified as one A.Shepao, 28 years from Makhrelui village of Senapati town after he was was brutally beaten up allegedly by NSCN-IM cadres few days ago.
Demanding that the NSCN-IM to vacate the Shepoumaramth Regional office, the agitated mob ransacked the regional office and after taking out the sofa sets, chairs, tables, kitchen utensils, mattresses and blankets they set on fire the goods in full public view.
Earlier, various Naga organisations including United Naga Council, All Naga Students Association, Manipur (ANSAM), Naga People's Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR), Naga Women Union (NWU) and many others have condemned the killing of the young man by the NSCN-IM cadres.
According to information received by Hueiyen Lanpao, even though public have been all along angry over the brutal killing of the innocent youth, the built up of Saturday afternoon's mob fury that led to ransacking of the regional office of NSCN-IM's Shepoumaramth Region was triggered by rumour that NSCN-IM has only terminated the service of the cadres involved in the killing instead of the public demand for giving capital punishment as in the Zunheboto case.
