Imphal, February 29 2016:
Demanding justice for the minor rape victim of Chinikol village located under Bishnupur police station who succumbed to injuries yesterday , a large number of people today tried to storm the Manipur Legislative Assembly complex which is holding a session at present.
The JAC, family members of the victim and other supporters marched towards the Assembly complex from two different directions � Thangmeiband and Chingmeirong.
Police personnel, however, blocked the agitated masses from entering into the complex.
They shouted slogans before the complex demanding that the rapist should not be treated a juvenile.
The other group approaching the complex from Thangmeiband road were dispersed using water canons.
The unrest settled only after police permitted some women representatives to proceed and submit a memorandum to the Government authority.
No untoward incident has been reported.
