Imphal, February 17 2025: Claiming that the murderers of Laishram Malemnganba have been identified, the Pambei-led UNLF has assured that the murderers would be awarded befitting punishment.

15 year old Laishram Malemnganba of Moirang-kampu Awang Leikai was shot dead by some unidentified persons near his home on February 10 .

The murder has been investigated by the outfit and the main culprit has been identified as Huiningshung-bam Yumlingba alias Poireinganba of Lamboi Khul, Imphal East said a press release issued by the outfit's Department of Publicity and Education Direc- tor Charairongba Thok-chom.

Yumlingba alias Poireinganba is under BMT in the 35th batch of MPA in July 2009.But he was not qualified to be an MPA fighter and he ran away from the party, it said.

In the midst of the violent conflict which erupted on May 3, 2023, he came back with a request to rejoin the party and he was allowed to work for the party for sometime on probation.

During this probationary period, Yumlingba alias Poireinganba was found working with another group.

He was then summoned and warned in unambiguous terms not to defy the party's rules and principles.

On November 3, 2024, Yumlingba alias Poireinganba was granted leave for five days to go home.

But he did not report to his camp even after the end of his leave.

Even though some members of the party went to Yumlingba's home to tell him to report to his camp, he went into hiding and became a deserter.

Subsequently, Yumlingba alias Poireinganba was declared a deserter.

As such, the outfit and its armed wing MPA have no relationship with him, it said.

Vehemently condemning the murder of Laishram Malemnganba, the outfit shared solidarity with the bereaved family.

It further assured all possible assistance to the bereaved family.

Meanwhile, the outfit has refuted any connection whatsoever with Khoisnam Ronaldo, Soram Ngouba alias Sanatomba Meitei (30) and Okram Aboy Meitei who were arrested by Manipur Police from Narankonjil near Chandranadi village and Nungoi Awang Leikai on February 4 and February 14 .

Saying that they are not members of Pambei-led UNLF, the outfit appealed to all the people not to use its name for personal gain.

If any one is found using the party's name for personal gain, he would be awarded punishment, the outfit warned.
