Ikop Ningthou Chaokhat Khongthang Nupi Lup Tentha has categorically refuted the report of burning the house of Rakesh Naorem, Naorem Tomal and Naorem Milan, sons of Naorem Chao-ba while terming the allegations levelled by Rakesh Naorem as an act of misleading the public for his vested interests.
Local people of Tentha Khongbal staged a sit-in protest on Wednesday against the arrest of Moirangthem Ghane and Laimujam Vivekraj by Khongjom police in connection with the alleged arson incident, Lup secretary M Sanatombi said, adding that the two were arrested by police without giving any reason and were charged with committing the arson act later on.
Terming the allegation as baseless, she demanded the authority to release the two without any condition at the earliest.
She also urged the media to take photo and video of the house, which was alleged to be burned down.
She also warned of intensifying the agitation if the duo is not released at the earliest.
