Thoubal, January 19 2015:
Flash bandh along NH-2 was imposed at Khangabok this morning over the arrest of two persons by the police last night in connection with the killing of Md Firoj.
Residents of Khangabok rose in protest against the arrest of the two persons.
The two arrested persons have been identified as Thokchom Heramani (30) s/o Th Angada and Moirangthem Sanathoi (16) s/o M Inao, both from Khangabok bazar.
Heramani is said to be a driver of the 3rd IRB.
The agitation was withdrawn after the Thoubal SP clarified that the two were not arrested as accused in the crime but were detained to talk things over in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, a public meeting held today at Khangabok decided to launch intense form of agitation unless the two persons are released unconditionally.
