Imphal, April 11:
In the aftermath of the last night's incident of attacking a person with knife and then leaving him to his own fate at Sekmai New Market under Imphal West district, enraged local people today morning destroyed the house of the accused attacker.
The victim who sustained injuries in the attack has been identified as Sagolsem Santosh (22) s/o Malhei and the attacker as Irengbam Premjit alias Bomcha (25) s/o late Manihar.
Both of them are residents of Awang Sekmai.
According to local residents, after returning from their respective works, both Santosh and Premjit drank liquor in a hotel last evening.
During the course of drinking, they got into an argument after which they went back to their respective houses for supper.
However, when Santosh came out from home after supper, Premjit was already waiting for him hiding in the dark and holding a knife.
Premjit attacked Santosh with the knife stabbing all over the body including the head and left him to his own fate.
At around 9 pm, some of the people who were returning from cinema hall after watching late night show came across Santosh lying unconscious on the road side.
After investigating into the incident, the local people came to know that Premjit was the culprit.
