CCpur, November 13 2019:
The Vaiphei student body - Zillai general headquarters - along with four of district federates today reiterated its decision not to claim the body of Paotinsat Vaiphei, who was killed on November 10 at Haika village near Sajiktampak, until the culprits are booked.
The student body also negated the purported suspension order issued by UKLF of one Paolenkhup Haokip saying, the statement was false and fabricated in an attempt to conceal their involvement in the killing.
It has additionally set a 36 hour deadline to apprehend the culprit and demanded ex-gratia for the victim's family, failing which, a Statewide 12 hours bandh will be imposed from 6 am of November 15, 2019, it said.
The statement jointly signed by leaders of Zillai GHQ, Zillai Churachandpur, Zillai Chandel, Zillai Imphal and Zillai Kangpokpi while alleging that they have also learnt from reliable sources that one Khupmang, a self-styled finance secretary and C-in-C in-charge of UKLF as the master mind behind the killing, called for his arrest as well.
It may be recalled here that the Zillai GHQ had on Monday - a day after the crime-while condemning the murder, made it known that they will be compelled to take recourse to any action deemed fit if the Government fails to do its duty.
