Imphal, August 20, 2012:
A resident of Taphou village, Shemthang Kuki has refuted having any son by the name of Thangminlen Chongloi alias Abung, who the Thoubal police commandos and 14 AR claimed to have arrested as PREPAK (Pro) cadre from Thoubal Okram on August 14. Referring to the Thoubal SP statement that appeared in this paper, Shemthang Kuki today said that the Thoubal SP might have provided the information as per the disclosure of the arrested person.
He added that the arrested person in the name of Thangminlen Chongloi could have been one Ibungo Nongmaithem s/o Bradhaja Nongmaithem of Khapotsangbam Mamang Leikai, Bishnupur district.
Shemthang said that one of her daughters married Ibungo Nongmaithem five years back until they were divorced on May 10 this year due to his bad drug habit and frequent abuse of his wife.
He further clarified that Ibungo Nongmaithem taking the name of his father as Shemthang Kuki is baseless and absolutely false.
