Imphal, August 22 2018:
Fearing "threat", Women Action for Development (WAD) has asked the State Government to provide Y Class security to A Noutuneshwari Devi, Special Judge POCSO, Senapati today.
The appeal came after the Special Judge recently awarded death penalty to a 21-year-old man named R David in a 2015 rape and murder case of a 4-year-old girl in Senapati district.
"Since the announcement of the judgement, it seems her activities are being watched, causing psychological fear," said WAD.
Alleging "threat" and "suspicious activities" taking place near the Dens Park Court, Senapati, where the Judge is staying, WAD said that the woman Judge should be given Y Class Security and other adequate security measures to avoid threats and unwanted incidents.
Some unknown persons had allegedly asked "unrelated questions" to the guards and other police personnel deployed for the security of the Judge and the Court arousing suspicion, said WAD.
Appealing the Government to take necessary steps to protect the Judge at the earliest, WAD reminded the Government about the brutal killing of Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Dr Thingnam Kishan and his associates in February 2009 .
