Imphal, June 23 2013:
Condemning in the strongest term the case of abandoning a college student after she was raped, the JAC constituted against the criminal act and seven student organisations have threatened to launch different modes of agitation in case the culprits are not booked within two days.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, members of DESAM, AMSU, MSF, Pangal Students Organisations (PSO), Apunba Ereipakki Maheiroi Shinpang Lup, All Manipur Muslim Girls Students' Union and Kangleipak Students' Union decried the Government's failure to pull up any suspect even though it has been five days since the crime was committed.
If the culprits are not booked within the next two days, intense forms of agitation would be launched from the next day.
The 17 year old girl was abducted by some persons from the gate of Universal College, Yairipok where she went to take admission form on June 19.She was abandoned at her residential after being allegedly raped at around midnight of the same day.
Even as the victim has named a person involved in the brutal crime, police are unable to round up a single suspect till date indicating that some powerful and influential persons have been condoning the criminals, said JAC convenor Ayub Khori.
Members of the JAC and the student organisations today met Chief Minister O Ibobi on the rape case and the latter reportedly assured that the culprits would be booked within the next two days.
Keeping faith in the Chief Minister's assurance, the JAC and the student bodies have decided to wait for the next two days.
In case, the Chief Minister cannot fulfil his own assurance within the specified period, all kinds of agitation would be from the next day, they said.
