Imphal, January 29 2024:
Claiming responsibility for the killing of an ex-Army man from Pallel bazar, the armed Socialist Revolutionary Party (SOREPA), Kangleipak has said that the man was given capital punishment for the heinous crime committed against his own minor daughter.
According to a SOREPA statement, Heishnam Bobo Singh, 39 (ex-Army) son of Heishnam Chitamani of Pallel bazar but residing in a rented house owned by one Sarangthem Gangaram Singh (ex-Army) at Kakching Lamkhai was given capital punishment for the crime he committed against his own daughter.
Based on a complaint that Bobo repeatedly outraged modesty of own 13 years old daughter, he was picked up for questioning by the outfit to find out truth and Bobo confessed to committing the heinous crime.
Sadly, Bobo's family has been affected by the ongoing violence and putting up in a rented house at Kakching Lamkhai, where he repeatedly outraged modesty of his own daughter.
On Bobo's disclosure, owner of the rented house Gangaram (ex-Army) aged around 65/70 year was also questioned about his involvement in the crime and confessed to touching the minor girl inappropriately.
During further investigation, it was found that the minor victim has injuries on her body parts and needs immediate treatment to save her from imminent danger.
The mother of the minor girl also requires counselling as she is currently in depression, the SOREPA statement said and justified the capital punishment awarded to Bobo.
The statement issued by its publicity & organisation secretary MC Yaiphabi, however, said that the rent owner Gangaram will be given light punishment of bearing the entire cost of treatment of the victim girl in view of his age.
Nevertheless, the outfit will not oppose any punishment given by the local people to Gangaram despite his age and health conditions and he will have to face the same fate as Bobo if he continues to commit crime against women and children in future.
The outfit also announced that capital punishment will be given to rapists and drug dealers, who are responsible for degrading the society.
