Imphal, February 24 2024:
Wangkhei Keithel Ashangbi Nupee Marup has strongly condemned assault on one Nongthombam Kumar of Andro Huikap, who was staying at a rented room in Wangkhei Keithel Ashangbi on Friday night.
Apart from assaulting, unknown miscreants also reportedly burned his rented room.
In a press meet held near ESU Ground on Saturday, Wangkhei Keithel Ashangbi Nupee Marup general secretary Heisnam Ongbi Sulekhana said that the victim Nongthombam Kumar is presently employed at Image Tv.
"If there is any disagreement or issue with Kumar, the miscreants should have resolved in a civil manner rather than resorting to such violent acts," she said, while asking the miscreants to identify themselves and clarify why they committed such act.
Condemning the assault on Kumar and burning down his rented room, Sulekhana also questioned who would bear the responsibility if the fire happened to spread to the neighbouring structures.
It is unfortunate such incidents are occurring amid the prevailing unrest in the state, Sulekhana said, while informing that Kumar has to undergo treatment at Raj Medicity for the injuries suffered in the assault.
