Thoubal, September 03 2022:
Locals of Sapam Maning Leikai organised a sit-in protest on Saturday denouncing the assault on one Heikrujam Ibetombi, wife of Heikrujam Inao of the same locality by H Romikanta of Sapam Khuhoubi Leikai on August 23 .
Local Meira Paibi member H Sanahal told media persons that the incident occurred following an argument between the two parties over a land dispute.
However, assaulting a woman and inflicting grievous injuries is highly condemnable.
Even though the victim family lodged a complaint to the police, the victim and her husband are being harassed by police by calling them to the police station for questioning frequently instead of initiating legal actions against Romikanta, she said.
Terming the act of police as harassment and injustice, she drew attention of the authority concerned to look into the matter and deliver justice to the victim woman.
Injured Ibetombi also attended the protest and narrated the incident while appealing for justice.
