Imphal, February 21 2022:
The People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) has claimed responsibility for the bomb attack at Wangoo in Kakching district at around 7.40 pm yesterday wherein two ITBP personnel were hurt.
In a statement issued today, Mangal Khuman, publicity officer, department of publicity and propaganda, PREPAK, said the attack was executed by Special Task Force C of PREPAK's Red Army.
The task force had placed two IEDs at Wangoo Tera Lupa Marup area to target the ITBP personnel who were returning to Wangoo High School after patrol, however the ITBP personnel were lucky that only one of the two IEDs went off.
If the IEDs had gone off as planned the casualties would have been much higher, claimed the statement.
Mangal Khuman added that the attack was part of Co-Ordination Committee's (CorCom) total shutdown and boycott of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the State.
PREPAK also appealed the public not to support the Prime Minister's visit.
