In connection with the incident, FIR was registered at Imphal West police station and a complaint was also lodged.
Even as several civil organisations were demanding arrest of the driver and seizure the Scorpio jeep by January 15 and payment of Rs five lakhs as ex-gratia to the bereaved family in addition offering a suitable Government to the next of kin of the deceased, the Government was doing nothing in this regard.
The protesters maintained that they would continue with different kinds of agitation until and unless the Government takes up some concrete positive actions.
The protest demonstration was also participated by members of the UCM, AMSU, DESAM and Naga Women Union Chandel.
