Imphal, May 12 2021:
The World Meetei Convention (WMC) has urged the new Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sharma to investigate the 'gang rape' of one Manipuri woman (Meetei) on May 9 last at Ghungoor, Assam and punish all involved accordingly.
In a letter to the Assam CM, the WMC said that the victim is a widow sanitary worker and a mother of two.
Claiming that influential people attempting to cover up the offender of the 'heinous' crime is likely as the victim belongs to a minority community, the letter urged Himanta to initiate an investigation without political or any other undue interference.
The WMC also urged CM N Biren Singh to approach his counterpart in Assam to deliver justice to the victim.
