Imphal, July 20 2013 :
Regarding the uncertainty over the age of Leimapokpam Athemba Singh, s/o L Amarjit Singh of Wabagai Huyanglam Makha Leikai, who allegedly raped a 3-year old girl, All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) appealed to the concerned authority to conduct medical examination to determine his correct age.
Taking serious note over misrepresentation of the age of the rapist by family members and IO in-charge, a release from AMSU said that if the authority failed to determine the age of the rapist as soon as possible, then it would launch a series of agitations in association with JAC and other civil society organisations.
The students' body would support the victim and her family, AMSU said.
