Expressing deep regret over the murder of Alino Lotha by one Rupak Singh in broad daylight at New Market Dimapur on October 23, North East Dialogue Forum (NEDF) demanded stringent punishment against the murderer in accordance with the rule of law .
NEDF in a press release said following the incident, tension has been running high amongst the community of the deceased and the community of the culprit .
It suspected that the heinous crime was committed to flare up communal clash between the two communities .
"Since the last many decades people of North East have been facing serious atrocities committed by the armed state forces wherein mostly women were targeted.
The trend has now slowly been shifted to the common masses and the most vulnerable section of the society has been victimised by such violent acts", it stated .
NEDF appealed to all the communities to cooperate with the law enforcing agencies department involved in the investigation process so that the culprit could be given befitting punishment as per the rule of law.
