Imphal, April 16 2012:
JAC constituted against the kidnapping and murder of Keisham Premila has said that it will not claim the badly mutilated and burnt female body found from Kakching Mahadeva hill until a DNA test is conducted on the body to testify it is Premila's body.
On the otherhand, sit-in-protests were staged at Kongjom bazar and Thoubal Bazar in denunciation with the murder of Premila today.
A JAC spokesperson said that the JAC, with support from different social bodies, would continue different forms of agitation until a DNA test is conducted.
The spokesperson also decried the announcement of the Government that the body recovered from Kakching Mahadeva hill would be disposed off if it is not claimed by April 16 .
Maintaining that the JAC has been not indulging in any agitation like bandh, blockade and general strike which may give hardships to the general public, the spokesperson said that the Government is maintaining stoic silence to the demands of the JAC.
In today's agitations, placards that read as 'award dead sentence to the culprits involved in the murder case of Mahadeva Hills', 'handover the perpetrators to public', 'let us fight the criminals involved in crimes against women', 'provide social security' and 'stop crime against women' were put up.
