Imphal, May 31 2010:
A group of around 10 persons attacked house of one Horngam Keishing and assaulted his son Soshim Keishing (23) at Dewlahland at around 7.15 pm on May 29 .
Incidentally, Horngam Keishing was an aspiring independent candidate of the ADC elections in 22 Kamu Ching constituency in Sadar Hills ADC.
Horngam withdrew his candidature after the UNC banned the elections.
According to Horngam, the group who attacked his house and eldest son was headed by Robson Shimray, an INC candidate in the same constituency.
Notably, re-polling for Island UJB School, one of the polling stations of Kamu Ching constituency was held yesterday following complaints of proxy voting on May 26 .
But not a single vote was allowed to be polled yesterday by the Tomching Chingsang Shanaolong which meant that Robson Shimray did not get a single vote from this polling station.
According to Horngam, Robson Shimray attacked him alleging that he influenced the voters.
Both Horngam and Robson belong to Laishiphung village, Sadar Hills.
