Imphal, June 05 2013: The Kuki Students' Organisation (General Headquarters) expressed astonishment over the matter that 'pseudo ATSUM' volunteers who were arrested and kept in the custody of Sekmai PS in connection with 38 hours bandh was released yesterday as some persons suspected to be ATSUM leaders disguised themselves as KSO (Ghqs) leaders and ordered the release.

The Sekmai PS told a team of KSO (Ghqs), who rushed to the PS today to enquire the matter, that some persons identifying themselves as KSO leaders indeed went there to plead the release of the nine 'pseudo ATSUM' volunteers, said a KSO statement signed by its general secretary Sasang Vaiphei.

"This shows the present ATSUM is not a legitimate and mandated tribal students' body.

Modus operandi of this pseudo ATSUM is not the kind of student Unions and they do not bother much about ethics and they could do anything for their personal gain at any opportune time," the KSO said adding that the ATSUM being not a mandated one, had disguised themselves as KSO leaders to rescue the poor tribal volunteers who do not know much about the ATSUM.

Pledging that it would leave no stone unturned with the reported blackmailing of the organisation's name, the KSO also wondered how the Sekmai police could be easily convinced by the imposters inspite of the many press statements made by the KSO.

Contending that it was a clandestine act orchestrated by the police and the imposters to malign the image of the KSO, the statement warned of resorting to its own form of action if the culprits are not booked at the earliest time.
