Imphal, January 11 2014 :
An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was found planted at the residence of a special contractor identified as Thingujam Sunindro (55), s/o Nabakishore of Khongman Zone-V under Irilbung Police Station in Imphal East at around 8 am today.
According to the police, the bomb was packed inside a paper box and it was placed atop some gunny bags on a parked Tata DI vehicle.
The bomb weighed about three kilograms.
Later, bomb squads of Manipur Police and Assam Rifles retrieved the IED and detonated it safely at around 11 am at Wangkhei Loumanbi.
Meanwhile, womenfolks of Khongman staged a sit-in today afternoon decrying the planting of the IED at the residence of Sunindro.
A woman protestor told media persons that the bomb could have been disastrous if exploded.
Such mindless act is far beyond condemnation.
The organization concerned should not repeat such act in the future, she added.
