Kangpokpi, October 05 2015: Kuki Students' Organization, General Headquarter (KSO-GHQ) today strongly condemned the killing of one 'civilian' named Seikholen Haokip by 25 Gorkha Rifles on October 1 .

General Secretary, KSO-GHQ Seiboi Haokip alleged that it was a lie that the 25 GR killed the civilian in an ambush.

Seiboi Haokip claimed that the deceased along with one Thensei Haokip had gone to Khoupum village to procure household items and were on their way to home at Songkong village where they were shot by the Army men.

Thensei Haokip escaped and managed to save his life while Seikholen died at the spot.

He further said that the Army men on knowing that they had killed an innocent civilian tried to cover up their track by donning the dead body with camouflage dress.

He further alleged that the Army men lodged an FIR at Khoupum Police Station claiming that the victim was a cadre belonging to Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) .

While vehemently condemning the alleged act of deceit and lie by the Army men, the student body leader remarked that it is a blatant violation of human rights by the Army by killing a man who was the sole bread earner of his family having five small children.

The student body also warned that it will never condone the dry-gulching of the civilian victim if the case is not settled to the full satisfaction of his family.
