Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) and Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long (TMNL) have come out strongly against the rape of a 13-year old girl student of KendrIya Vidhylaya School, Ukhrul by none other than by one of her own male teacher.
In a joint statement, President of TKS Yangmi Khapai and President of TMNL Ningkhan Shang observed that the conduct of the teacher shocked every sensible person.
So, judging by the severity and sensitivity of the case, it would be sensible on part of the authorities concerned to deny bail to the accused.
Instead, he should be booked and punished in accordance to the provisions of relevant laws.
On the other hand, incident of attempt to rape & murder of a woman by a suspected Meitei at Ukhrul Central jail at around 4pm yesterday was alarming.
The woman who is the sole bread earner of her family was rescued by some passersby with head injuries and she was subsequently admitted to CHSRC Ukhrul from where she was referred to Shija Hospital at Langol.
