In a bizarre incident, a man hit a woman on her head using utensils over a conflict during a ritual performance at Ibudhou Tangjeng Ningthou Haraopham, Kiyam in Thoubal on Monday.
Speaking to media persons at Kiyam Wangmataba Youth Welfare Association office, treasurer Thingujam Gyaneshwor narrated that 50 years old Yumnam Dhanabir physically assaulted Kiyam Wangmataba Meira Paibi Lup member Sorokhaibam Subashini (52) using utensils over a conflict arising out of conduct of a ritual.
As the woman sustained injury on her head, she was admitted to Thoubal district hospital and then referred to Raj Medicity, Imphal.
Regarding the matter, the victim's son reported to Thoubal Women Police Station for registering an FIR, yet no action has been taken up against the accused man, he condemned, while adding that there is suspicion that the brother of the accused namely Yumnam Kar-najit, who is the president of BJP Thoubal district, might be exerting pressure on police not to take up the FIR.
