Imphal, January 16 2024:
Khwairamband Ima Keithel Joint Coordinating Committee organised a sit-in protest at Khwairamband Keithel on Tuesday demanding suitable action against Hemkholal Mate and Philip Khongsai, the prime suspects in the assassination of SDPO Anand.
Interacting with the media during the protest, committee convenor L Memma said that the arrest of the prime suspects has restored trust in the law enforcing agency of the state and the committee appreciates the response of the special commando team in nabbing the culprit.
She demanded befitting punishment to the suspects.
Committee co-convenor Y Ibeyaima strongly criticised the Kuki women of Tengnoupal district for the protest they staged against the arrest and said that their action demonstrates support to terrorism.
Tuesday's protest is a stand against such acts of terrorism,
she said.
