Imphal, March 13 2016: The proscribed UNLF has claimed its hand in the bomb attacks which occurred at Tuks and Bond oil-pump, Hatta, residence of one Th Satyabarta at Brahmapur Bheigyabati Leikai, residence of Hirihito Company proprietor Elangbam Toto at Keishamthong Elangbam Leikai on March 5 and planting a bomb at the Uripok Huidrom Leikai residence of SK Oil agent S Rajesh alias Bung on March 4 .

According to a press release issued by UNLF department of publicity director M Sak-hen, the bomb attack at Tuks and Bond oil-pump was the last warning to its proprietor Achoibam Deben of Lamlai Mayai Leikai but presently stay- ing at Mantri Pukhri Lamlongei.

The outfit accused A Deben of exploiting and subjugating fledgeling entrepreneurs apart from confiscating properties of other people.

Whereas Deben was warned repeatedly against deceitful and arrogant activities, he challenged the outfit rather than correcting himself.

For his arrogant attitude, Deben was asked to shut down his oil pump through his manager Sanjit many months back.

Instead of shutting down the oil pump, Deben hired police commandos to guard all his oil-pumps.

While regretting the injuries inflicted on a worker of the oil- pump by the bomb blast, the UNLF said that befitting action would be taken up against Deben if he continues to challenge the party.

The bomb blast at the courtyard of Thokchom Satyabarta alias Abhinash s/o Th Birchand of Brahmapur Bheigyabati Leikai was also his last warning.

Th Satyabrata is a key member of a syndicate of CPWD contractors.

Some other members are Oken of Haobam Marak, Ajit of Uripok, Jojobi of Uripok, Ingocha of Haobam Marak and Somorendro of Singjamei.

These people not only obtained contract works in the name of the party but also took money in terms of percentage from firms based outside the State in the name of giving the money to the party.

However, rather than submitting the money thus collected to the party, they kept the money with themselves.

They have been obtaining contract works from CPWD by intimidating officials concerned.

Even as the party gave them several chances to confess their wrongdoings and correct themselves, they turned against the party and sent commandos to harass and arrest party's activists, the outfit continued.

If Satyabarta fails to give in to the party, the party may take up more stringent actions against him.

The outfit also warned all the people who have been seek- ing and obtaining CPWD contract works in the name of the party.

A bomb was planted at the residence of Sougrakpam Rajesh alias Bung at Uripok Huidrom Leikai for swindling SK Oil in collusion with some influential, wealthy people which otherwise should be distributed to the masses.

He too defied the party's repeated appeals to correct him- self.

The bomb blast at the Keishamthong Elangbam Leikai residence of Elangbam Toto was carried out by a demo team of UNLF/MPA for his failure to comply with what was agreed between him and the party.

If he continues to challenge the party, necessary actions would be initiated to punish him accordingly, the outfit added.
