Imphal, August 31 2012:
A man was found dead and floating in the upstream of Imphal Barrage along Imphal river near Haoreibi Makha Leikai Konjin under Lilong police station in Thoubal district this morning.
A police source said that the deceased might be one Makakmayum Salatur Rahman (23) s/o Suleiman of Lilong Leihaokhong.
Meanwhile, driven by a strong suspicion that Md Zuma Khan (34) s/o late Manergun of Lilong Yangbi was involved in the murder of Salatur Rehman, a mob belonging to Lilong Leihaokhong set afire an outhouse of Zuma Khan this afternoon.
Not only that, the mob vandalised and torched the house of Zuma but the fire was doused off by fire tenders in time.
Another source informed that late Salatur was a member of a gang which indulged in vehicle lifting.

As Zuman Khan and Amir Khan saw Salatur riding a stolen motorcycle, they chased him in the night of August 29 .
In his haste, Salatur lost control of the bike and fell flat.
But he somehow managed to sneak away.
The motorcycle rode by Salatur on August 29 was the one stolen from the house of Zuma Khan the previous night, said the source.
On the other hand, a public meeting was held at Lilong Keithel after which a joint action committee was constituted in connection with the suspicious death of Salatur.
