Today, a large number of activists of North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS), and civil liberty groups and democratic student organizations protested outside UP Bhawan in Delhi against the alleged failure of the UP Government and Union Ministry of Home Affairs to constitute a CBI enquiry into the death of a Manipuri youth, Pravish Chanam .
According to a statement, a memorandum addressed to the UP Chief Minister was also submitted today .
NEFIS activists reacted strongly against the Manipur Chief Minister's measure of sending Addl DGPof Manipur Police to UP for collection of information in the ongoing Noida Police's investigation .
Chinglen Khumukcham of NEFIS declared that such a measure of deputing a police officer was inadequate while reiterating the demand for a CBI probe into the matter.
He expressed doubt that Noida Police would extend cooperation to the Addl DGP of Manipur Police.
