Ukhrul, July 21 2013:
The Joint Action Committee formed against the life attempt on a girl child in Ukhrul has taken strong exception to the bail given to prime accused Jim Horam by a session court in Imphal.
In a press statement issued today, the JAC convenor Ac Thotso and Secretary Thotchuila Hongray said the committee is ''shock and surprise to learn the fact that one of the prime accused, Jim Horam, son of Antipus Horam, who was put in prison under unbailable offence act...has been bailed out while trials are still on' .
Jim was arrested earlier this year for multiple counts of crime against a minor girl in Ukhrul and was imprisoned under criminal case No.11(2) 2013 Ukhrul Police Station U/S 202/342/326/367/ 307/330/506/ 374/34IPC. The main accused was reportedly released from prison on July 13 after a session court in Imphal granted him bail.uy
The JAC vehemently condemned the bail granted to the accused criminal at this stage.
''The sanctity of justice institution in the state has appeared questionable.
In view of the said development, JAC is thrown to move all right thinking people and people's organizations state-wide to get justice done and the truth triumphs at the earliest,'' the statement urged.
