Imphal, April 06 2017:
The proscribed RPF has flayed the incident of assaulting and handing over of one supporter of the outfit to police by some people today.
A press release issued by the outfit's assistant publicity secretary Bangkim said that RPF district revenue officer Ibungo sent one Inao to arrange a meeting with Naorem Bishwarup s/o late N Parikhit of Nambol Kha-Jiri who runs a stone crushing firm at Nambol Maibam at around 2 pm today.
Even as Inao identified himself as a PLA activist who was sent there by RPF's Ibungo, Bishwarup raised an alarm shouting that Inao was a fake revolutionary cadre who came there for extortion.
A number of people rushed in and overpowered Inao at the false alarm.
His hands were bound and he was severely assaulted before he handed over to police.
Saying that the outfit took strong exception of the incident, it clarified that Inao was not a fake revolutionary but he firmly believed in the outfit and he was helping the outfit.
Claiming that all the persons who assaulted Inao at the instigation of Bishwarup have been identified, RPF asked all of them including Bishwarup to communicate with the outfit within a week.
By assaulting and landing innocent Inao in trouble, the assailants were challenging the revolutionary movement, it added.
