Imphal, June 14 2019:
National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted a written objection against the bail application filed by Saikul MLA Yamthong Haokip on health grounds in the arms missing case from 2nd Manipur Rifle Arms Kote, today.
During the proceeding today, the Court furnished the written objection of the NIA to the counsel of the petitioner, Yamthong Haokip, and fixed June 17 for the hearing of the bail application.
It may be mentioned that NIA conducted a raid at MLA Yamthong Haokip's residence at Mantripukhri on July 30 and 31 last year in connection with the arms missing case and on August 24, he was formally arrested by NIA.
Special Court, NIA, Manipur, rejected the bail application filed by Yamthong Haokip on November 6 last year, but still permitted him to get treated at the Cardio-Thoracic Centre, AIMS, New Delhi.
The Court had also recently released the MLA's driver Thokchom Diamond, KRA Chief, David Hangsing, H Talung Pungphinami, Laishram Damudor and Mathurabashimayum Hiranjoy on bail, due to lack of sufficient evidence.
