Imphal, September 29 2021:
Claiming that Lanchapou Bosco Gonmei, who was arrested in connection with the abduction and murder of Athuan Abonmai, is innocent, denizens of RamgailongVillage staged a sit-in protest demonstration at the village on Wednesday.
According to Ramgailong village authority chairman Jangpou Dangmei, Lanchapou is an innocent denizen of Ramgailong and is not related with the murder of Athuan Abonmai.
Moreover, the suspect spends most of his time at home, contended the chairman, while adding that Lanchapou, who is also a member of the village authority, was arrested by Manipur police commando on September 27 around 6 am.
Maintaining that there is no criminal record against Lanchapou, Jangpou condemned the arrest of Lanchapou on the charge of murdering Athuan Abonmai.
Meanwhile, Chingsubam Chandrabala of Langol Laimanai, which is a neighbouring village of Ramgailong, has strongly condemned leveling of murder charge against Lanchapou Bosco Gonmei.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here on Wednesday, Chandrabala urged all concerned not to level false charge on an innocent person in connection with the murder of Athuan Abonmai.
Demanding the government to release Lanchapou unconditionally at once, she also called for arresting the real murderers of Athuan Abonmai and giving them befitting punishment.
