Addressing a press meet at the residence of the deceased here today, T Raju, convener of PAC, said that the bandh along Uripok Kangchup road was lifted from 6 pm today considering inconveniences caused to the public but staging of sit-in-protest will continue until the culprit (s) is arrested to award stringent punishment.

He informed that indefinite night curfew from 7 pm has been imposed along Uripok Kangchup road.

Expressing discontentment over conduct of SP of Imphal East who turned down the request for furnishing the post mortem report of the deceased, Raju informed that a memorandum will be submitted to local MLA to urge him to put up the case in the ongoing State Legislative Assembly session.

If the government fails to book the culprit (s) before the end of the ongoing assembly session then the PAC will resort to a series of intense agitation in collaboration with other civil society and students' organizations, he cautioned.
