Imphal, July 21 2013:
Maring Urup Assembly (MUA) has condemned the misleading statement of Thoubal Police over the Sora incident of July 18 .
In a statement, Th Angdun, President of MUA said that while the investigation into the killing of DK Moshilpha alias James on 3rd July was underway under the leadership of Kakching SDPO, a clash broke out between police personnel and residents of Sora under Thoubal district on 18th July, 2013.During the clash Md Najim was shot death while 8 other civilians suffered injuries.
Through media, the Village Authority and residents of L Minou have already clarified that on that particular day, villagers of Sora did not enter L Minou and no clash broke out between the residents of two villages.
However, contrary to this fact, Thoubal SP on 21st July claimed that the death and the injured were resulted from inter-village clash between Sora and L Minou.
Such false statement is a deliberate intention to create unnecessary tension among the people of the two villages, Angdun stated.
