Imphal, October 24 2023:
Accusing the CBI of intimidating the people of Naoremthong Khullem Leikei while investigating a particular case which took place on May 4, a sit in protest was staged today at the locality.
The protesters cautioned that they will launch a stern agitation if the CBI continues to interrogate the locals of Noaremthong who had nothing to do with the incident.
The protest demonstration was organised by the womenfolk of Naoremthong Khullem Leikai.
Speaking to the media, one of the protesters Oinam Shital said that the CBI so far has visited Naoremthong four times to investigate the case.
Saying that the CBI didn't enter the residences of the locals till their third visit , she claimed that the premier investigative agency, however, questioned a particular shopkeeper yesterday and asked the latter if he was involved or knew any person who took part in the incident of May 4 .
She claimed that none from the locality took part in the incident and the crime was committed by thousands of people who came from other places.
It was mob violence and the locals of Naoremthong had nothing to do with it, she added.
CBI shouldn't enter Naoremthong anymore to investigate the case, Shital said.
