Imphal, August 16 2022:
Reacting to a news article published in some local dailies on August 12 that one MR personnel Thongam Ibohanbi died after he was denied leave following his wife's death, the Manipur Police PRO issued a statement informing that Ibohanbi had been granted leave and told to go home in the Unit's vehicle.
As per the release, after Thongam Ibohanbi was reported dead on August 11, a UD case was registered for conducting necessary investigation.
However, some local dailies reported that Ibohanbi was denied leave by the Battalion, which is not true.
Ibohanbi had filed a leave application on August 6, which was processed without objection.
On August 9, after news of his wife's demise was received, he was told repeatedly go home in the Unit's vehicle but he refused, stating that he will not go home hastily.
The Unit then extended condolences over the demise of 5 MR personnel Thongam Ibohanbi and shared the grief of the bereaved family.
