Imphal, October 03 2015 :
Unidentified armed miscreants numbering about seven looted a driver and owner of Imphal bound Tata Magic vehicle at gunpoint around 9.45 am today along the Imphal-Dimapur highway at a place in between Saparmeina and Motbung.
The ill-fated driver Arambam Kishore Chandra and owner Maibam Laksana, both from Nambol Maibam Chingmang, while addressing media persons today at Manipur Press Club said that they were returning from Kangpokpi after delivering different products of Kangla Food when the incident took place.
Laksana said, a numberless black colour Bolero SUV chased and stopped them at a place between Saparmeina and Motbung.
The occupants forced them to surrender every amount of money they had at gun point.
They reportedly looted more than Rs 45,000 in cash.
He urged concerned people not to repeat such kind of inhumane and barbaric behaviour of looting small time traders as it will not only affect the people but will also disrupt the harmony between traders and the public.
