Thoubal, June 09 2024:
A group of miscreants reportedly fired multiple rounds at a vehicle which was used by independent candidate in the recent Lok Sabha election Moirangthem Totomsana alias Nongshaba at the adjoining area of Wangbal and Kairembikhok last night.
In a video clip uploaded on his social media handle, Totomsana said that he was stopped by some miscreants near Kairembikhok while he was returning from Wangbal and asked to drop them at a particular place.
Saying that the miscreants took the car (Maruti Alto) after he denied their request, Totomsana added that he came to know that the car was abandoned after firing multiple times on it from one of his brothers at Wangbal who called him up.
The car has been confiscated by Thoubal police, he said in the social media post.
Further stating that some people seem to be closely monitoring him, Totomsana added that the car was borrowed for use during the election and the owner has asked him to return the car.
According to police, the incident took place at around 11 last night and the car doesn't have any registration number.
The car was found riddled with bullets including one of the doors and the tyres.
Reportedly, many people went to the site after the gunshot sounds were heard but there was no one in the area other than the damaged car.
