Clarifying that Laish-ram Dhanaraj (Raja), who was arrested by security forces in June 24 on charges of being involved in the Khurai incident on the night of June 23 is innocent, Meira Paibi members of Kongpal Chingangbam Leikai, Kongpal Sajor Leikai, Kongpal Laishram Leikai and Kongpal Ningthoubung Leikai demanded his unconditional rdease.
Speaking on the sidelines of a sit-in protest staged at the ground of Netaji Memorial Club, Thambalkhong on Monday, one of the Meira Paibi activists informed that Dhanaraj s/o L Bijoy of Kongpal Laishram Leikai was arrested from his house on charges of being involved in the incident including storming the minister's residence.
However, Dhanaraj is not involved in the case as he was preoccupied in taking care of his father, a stroke patient, whose condition had worsened after hearing of his son's arrest and is now admitted at JNIMS.
Condemning the arrest of an innocent person, the Meira Paibi member appealed to the authority concerned to release Dhanaraj without any condition.
