One Moirangthem Kesho of Leimaram Waroiching, Bishnupur district was rounded up and thrashed by people of the locality today on the charge that they were harassed by army and commandos on May 11 because of false information fed by Kesho.
When media persons reached the village, Kesho was found at the local community hall with a group of people surrounding him.
According to some Meira Paibi leaders of the locality, a combined team of commandos and army personnel posted at Khwairakpam Power House came to the village and asked for one Bimola and Manglembi.
When L Thasana w/o L Lolit replied that she do not know the women they were asking for, the combined security team along with women police went inside and searched the house.
Coming out from the house, they men in uniform said that they had enquired Kesho and were told that the two women left 'something' at the house of Thasana.
Then the security personnel asked Thasana to bring what was left behind by the two unknown women.
At this, Thasana asked the security personnel to search themselves what they were looking for.
On that day Kesho was seen sitting in the driver's cabin of an army vehicle.
Even as the local people tried to pull him down, the army vehicle drove away taking Kesho with them.
A public meeting was convened today to discuss the matter.
Kesho was also summoned to the meeting but he tried to flee.
Nonetheless, people of the locality somehow rounded up Kesho, said the Meira Paibi leaders.
On being questioned by the local club members and Meira Paibis, Kesho confessed that he fed wrong information to security personnel just to gain some material benefit for himself.
He also promised not to do such anti-social activities in future.
The Meira Paibi leaders also appealed to all security officers not to take the words of Kesho as he is abnormal.
Later, the public meeting decided to hand over Kesho to the commando post of Waroiching with due consent of his family.
