Imphal, October 11 2023:
Four unknown armed miscreants looted Rs 4,80,000 from a family at Khurai Lairikyengbam Leikai in Imphal East last night at around 7 .
Reportedly, the armed miscreants, all wearing masks, came in a blue van and called out one Ninthoujam Ratan from his house while the latter was with his daughter.
It is said that the armed miscreants, three wielding AK Rifles and one holding a pistol accused Ratan of selling drugs and searched his house at gunpoint.
The armed miscreants snatched the mobile phones of Ratan and his daughter during the search and took away Rs 4,80,000 and some gold ornaments from the almirah.
Ratan, on the other hand, refuted the charges levelled against him, claiming that he hadn't seen heroin in his entire life.
The mobile phones were found entrusted to a shop located nearby by the masked men.
