Imphal, August 14 2014 :
The District and Sessions Judge, Manipur East deferred the charge hearing for the alleged rape case of a Gorkha girl till August 23 as the defence counsel pleaded the Court to give some more days to prepare for the hearing.
As the accused S Ngaopuni (65) of Liyai Khullen could not produce his defence counsel in the last hearing held on July 31 last, the Court fixed today as the date for case hearing after the Police Station concerned submitted charge sheet against him on July 10 last under Section 376/420/4 POSCO Act.
When Ngaopuni was brought inside the Court complex from Sajiwa Central Jail, womenfolk from victim's locality tried to attack him.
However, police prevented them from reaching the accused and guided him inside the Courtroom.
Ngaopuni allegedly raped the minor girl at a secluded place at Kamei Ching on NH-2 on April 17 last.
It is said that Ngaopuni brought the girl there on the pretext of letting her cast vote in the Parliamentary election.
