Imphal, May 24 2015 :
The civil society organizations of Sadar Hills vehemently condemned the killing of Paokholen Khongsai, a Church secretary, in an alleged fake encounter yesterday near B Gamnom formerly known as K Henjang, Island Block, Saikul Sub Division, reports our correspondent.
The killing of Paokholen Khongsai was completely a violation of human rights, said Thangkam Lupheng, president of Kuki Inpi, Saikul Gamkai.
Lupheng alleged that the combined security forces also shot dead the other two victims after they had apprehended them and added that the two victims were not in possession of any arms at the time of the incident.
The security forces could have handed over the other two deceased to the police even if they suspected them to be underground cadres for appropriate actions, Lupheng said.
The organsiations also demanded the State Government to take punitive action against the involved AR personnel within 48 hours and compensate the family of Paokholen Khongsai.
