Imphal, October 02 2011:
A sit-in-demonstration was staged at Bijoy Govinda Leirak Machin (entry point) in denunciation of State Government's failure to initiate punitive against a Village Defence Force (VDF) personnel who was involved in inflicting bullet wound on a local youth recently.
As reported earlier, locals had claimed that 17-year old Wahengbam Bigyananda s/o Devananda of Sagolband Bijoy Govinda Leirak Machin suffered a bullet wound on the left leg after one of the VDF personnel deployed for duty in the area opened fire without any provocation on September 28 night.
Police authorities had contended that it was accidental firing.
a local lady who was taking part in the demonstration informed that a formal complaint was lodged before authority concerned to pull up and punish the VDF personnel but to no avail till date.
She said in case such incidents involving VDF continue a mass movement against the VDF cannot be ruled out.
