Imphal, March 02:
One Md Sabir Ahmad (28) of Lilong Haoreibi Mayai Leikai was beaten to death by a mob for allegedly trying to lift a motor cycle from the JN Hospital campus at Porompat in the early hours today.
Sabir, informed to be a drug user, failed to respond to treatment at the same hospital where he was admitted in critical condition.
according to source some bystanders got suspicious as Sabir pushed the Hero Honda motorcycle (MN1J/9441) beyond the gate and tried to kick-start the engine but to no avail.
as the bystanders closed in it came to light that the plug-cap was missing and the 28 year old's response to intense questioning was incoherent which further aroused suspicion.
In no time the commotion attracted larger audience who began to rain blows and kicks necessitating hospitalisation of the youth.
Sabir reportedly passed away at around 8 am.
The source informing two suspected accomplices of Sabir managing to escape from the scene in another motorcycle, said the body has been handed over to family members after post mortem at RIMS morgue this afternoon.
