Imphal, March 09 2022:
ommando personnel on Wednesday resorted to arms down agitation after a sub-inspector was suspended in relation with the assault of a KSO member while carrying out poll related duty in Kalapahar area of Kangpokpi district.
According to one of the protesting personnel, the CDO team was conducting frisking and checking operation in Kalapahar area during which a confrontation took place with an individual, who was refusing to cooperate but subsequently identified himself as KSO member.
Later, he was released by additional SP Kangpokpi in good faith.
After that, KSO threatened to impose bandh over the incident while the government suspended a sub-inspector to resolve the issue.
Strongly condemning the suspension for carrying out their duty, CDO personnel of Imphal East and Imphal West districts laid down their arms at the commando complexes around 6 pm Wednesday while demanding revocation of the suspension order.
Later, they withdrew the protest following an understanding with top police officers of the two districts.
