Imphal, September 28 2024: The Pambei-led United National Liberation Front (UNLF) has clarified that the outfit is not related with the September 25 incident that occurred along the road leading to the Gas Bottling Plant in Sekmai, where a truck driver named Wilubou Marenmai was allegedly thrashed by two unknown people.

According to a statement of the Pambei-led group issued by its media coordinator Charairongba Thokchom, the two people claimed themselves to be members of the outfit while thrashing the driver but the outfit is unrelated with the incident and two assaulters are not members of the outfit.

The UNLF statement further said that a team of UNLF rushed to the incident site immediately after getting news that UNFL members thrashed the driver.

The team conducted an investigation but no member of the outfit was found at the spot.

When the CCTV footage was checked, the two assaulters were unknown to the party but investigation to identify them has been initiated and under process.

The team also met Mairenmai and talked about the incident.

While maintaining that the outfit has long been working for equal sustenance and equal development of all indigenous Communities of Manipur, the UNLF statement said that the Sekmai incident was an attempt to create enmity among indigenous communities and the outfit takes the incident very seriously.

UNLF will identify the two assaulters and award them befitting punishment, the statement assured, and urged all fraternal indigenous communities not to react in communal way without verifying facts.
