Thoubal, June 19 2024:
A 28 year old man identified as Thokchom Arun s/o Th Manaobi of Khangabok Part 2 Moirangpalli Leikai was found killed at Sangaiyumpham Part 1 Sabal Leikai, Thoubal district this morning.
According to information received from family members, Arun left home and served as a village defence volunteer since the beginning of the ongoing violent crisis and he came home only yesterday.
Arun's wife Thokchom (O) Pushpa Leima said that her husband came home last morning and left shortly after.
Talking over mobile phone, Arun reportedly told Pushpa that he was going for an urgent work and he would tell her the details after coming home.
But Pushpa could no longer contact her husband from around 4 pm and he was found dead this morning.
Arun's two-wheeler (Honda Activa) was found on the Khangabok-Tentha road, 1.5 Km away from the spot where he was found dead.
Thoubal police have deposited the dead body at JNIMS morgue.
On the other hand, a public meeting was held at Khangabok Part 2 Moirangpalli Leikai in connection with the killing of Arun and a joint action committee (JAC) was constituted.
The public meeting adopted a number of resolutions including arrest of all the people involved in the killing of Arun within three days.
The meeting further resolved not to claim the dead body and launch a series of agitation in association with CSOs in case the Government fails to book the culprits within three days.
