Imphal, March 02 2014 :
Manipur Development Society Executive Engineer Konthoujam Dhaneshore was attacked by some unidentified persons who lobbed a hand grenade at his Kwakeithel Awang Thiyam Leikai residence along Sayang road at around 9.45 pm yesterday.
The grenade exploded beneath a car parked at Dhaneshore's courtyard.
Even though the blast flattened all the four tyres of the car none was hurt in the attack.
It also shattered window panes of the car and the house apart from making a hole on the car's chassis.
Taking strong exception to the grenade attack, local people staged a protest demonstration at the residential gate of Dhaneshore today.
Dhaneshore said that no UG group threatened him or demanded any money.
But there is one case of monetary demand served by the proscribed KYKL at office, Dhaneshore confided.
Meanwhile, one hand grenade was found inside a veterinary office located just opposite to Nongpok Sekmai police outpost in Thoubal district under Yairipok police station at around 11 am today.
The veterinary office was being used as a night camp for labourers engaged in black topping work of Yairipok-Nongpok Sekmai road.
Police have retrieved the hand grenade.
