A woman and her son met with an accident and sustained injuries as they were reportedly pursued by two unidentified persons suspected to be police.
The mishap took place between Keibi Heikak Mapal and Sawombung in Imphal East district in the afternoon of May 28 .
According to Hahat Touthang (40) of Aigejang village, Saikul sub-division, she and her son Paolinmang (28) were going to Imphal on a scooter (Honda Dio) when they met with the accident.
Hahat is wife of Paojalet Touthang, VC of Sadar Hills ADC.
At Heikak Mapal, two youth in plain clothes brandishing pistols signalled the mother-son duo to stop.
Hahat told her son not to stop but accelerate the scooter's speed.
The two unidentified youth pursued them on a Honda Activa.
At Sawombung, Paolinmang lost control of his scooter resulting in a mishap.
Both the mother and the son sustained injuries in the mishap.
As they fell on the ground, the two youth reached them and they started thrashing Paolinmang.
One being intervened by Hahat Touthang, the youth said that they were commandos and asked why they (Paolinmang and Hahat) did not stop even after they were signalled to do so.
Hahat suffered fractures on right shoulder and left hand.
She is currently undergoing treatment at Shija Hospital.
Paolinmang only suffered minor injuries.
The mother said that they decided to run away as the unidentified youth were not in police uniform and stopped only them.
KSO Bungpi area general secretary Helin Kipgen has condemned the assault.
He asked as to why the assailants did not do frisking in uniform if they were police or VDF.
