Imphal, July 07 2016 :
The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has slammed the NSCN-IM for torturing Paohoi Haokip s/o Lhungkhomang Haokip of Churachandpur.
In a statement, ZUF said that the cadres of NSCN-IM posted at Khoupum have beaten Paohoi Haokip beyond human imagination.
Paohoi is a mere innocent passenger vehicle driver that runs from Bishnupur to Khoupum and is a bonafide driver registered with the Driver Association of Bishnupur to Khoupum.
He was abducted since July 2 .
His family was threatened, even the VA Council of Khoupum and Ruangmei Luhphuam of Khoupum were not spared as the NSCN-IM threatened them of dire consequences.
Initially, Paohoi was tortured blaming him of not possessing valid vehicle documents, then he was being blamed of having link with Kuki underground group KNF-MC and later he was fabricated to having being a reporter of ZUF, which is totally baseless.
Paohoi family was summoned to bring a cash of 2 lakh for his safe release or face dire consequences if this incident is made public.
NSCN-IM has been carrying out its outlaw activities time and again against the public and the ZUF said it will not let the people down, but put their best to secure and protect hapless civilians to voice out its rights and seek justice at any cost, the statement added.
