Bishnupur, April 25 2023:
The 'JAC against the torture/killing of Rk Ningol Laishram ongbi Bidya' and Apunba Lup, Ningthoukhong jointly organised a sit-in protest at Ningthoukhong Bazar on Tuesday to condemn the alleged torture and killing of Rk Bidya by her husband and in-laws.
Speaking on the sidelines of the protest, JAC co-convenor Kh Kapoor asked the present government to affirm its claims of being people's government by taking appropriate action regarding the death of Rk Bidya.
While claiming that everyone knows Bidya was subjected to torture before being killed by her in-laws, he cautioned that Ningthoukhong denizens will be compelled to take suitable action against the accused persons if the government fails to punish the culprits according to law of the land.
Demanding capital punishment to Bidya's husband Laishram Rocky and her in-laws, the protesters resolved to submit a memorandum to government and continue agitations until their demands are honoured.
Later, the protestors shouted slogans condemning killing of Bidya and demanding punishment of the culprits.
