Imphal, August 01:
Mother of Th Manorama, Thangjam ongbi Khumanleimai Devi today testified before the Inquiry Commission instituted to probe the circumstances leading to the death of her daughter.
Before the Oath Commissioner, the bereaved mother said that around 7/8 AR personnel barged into their house in the intervening night of July 10 and 11 and after searching all the rooms of the house, one of them asked where Henthoi was, pointing a gun at her (mother).
At that point of time Manorama came out of her room and the AR men pounced upon her and took her towards the verandah.
After some time, the AR men asked the mother and brothers of Manorama to reveal where they had hidden the wireless set and arms, said the mother.
Then the AR personnel dragged Manorama outside the house and beat her up severely, said the mother adding that they could hear her muffled voice.
Manorama was then led into the house, said the mother and noted that she was clutching her phanek with her left hand and her shirt was unbuttoned.
The AR personnel then took out the arrest memo and got the thumb impression of the mother and the signatures of Manorama's brothers.
Before taking away Manorama, the security personnel warned them not to give chase.
Manorama was made to change into a new phanek and shirt before she was taken away.
