Kangpokpi, August 27 2014:
The Kodom Union has strongly condemned the incident of August 24 in which the SDPO of Ukhrul, Tholu Rocky, MPS and his driver were brutally assaulted by some youths at Dungrei Junction, Ukhrul.
The Union alleged that the assault on the SDPO and his driver is a pre meditated life attempt as per the report of the fact finding team led by the Chairman, Kodom Union along with the relatives of the SDPO, who personally visited Ukhrul on August 26 .
According to Kodom Union President KB Solomon, the President of Tangkhul Katamnao Shaklong (TKS) phoned the SDPO that certain Commando personnels were eve-teasing and photographing some women.
Immediately the SDPO phoned his counterpart Commando Officers regarding the matter.
However, he was told that they have no such report and to establish the truth, SDPO along with his driver went to the spot for enquiry but did not across any individual.
As he was about to retreat, some youth who as per the finding were well educated and well known personalities in the area assaulted the SDPO and his driver, alleged the Union President.
He added that one of the assaulters is said to have been recently recruited as Sub-Inspector in Central Police Force while another one is the son of Late Wungnaoshang Keishing, former MLA and the other one is the son of a Dy Inspector of a school in Ukhrul.
The assualters did not spare even the official Gypsy and destroyed the SDPO name plate.
Solomon asserted that the Kodom Union is resented and distressed by the news that was carried by some local newspapers on the incident.
Questioning the motives of the TKS leader, the Kodom Union quesioned why the President, TKS, who phoned the SDPO is tight lipped till date.
He even refused to meet the PNTM (Poumai Students' Union) who came all the way to Ukhrul by stating that he was in a meeting.
Therefore, his involvement in the incident cannot be ruled out, BK Solomon pointed out.
