Imphal, December 28 2014:
A 40 year old married man has been accused of raping a 32 year old unmarried woman after deceiving the woman with the promise of marrying her.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here this afternoon, the victim said that she was raped for the last time on December 11 after she was called to the Babupara quarters of MLA P Brojen by Moirangthem Tombisana (40) s/o late Kanhai of Langathel Moirang Leikai on the pretext of eloping together.
According to the victim, Tombisana works as a cook at MLA Brojen's quarters.
On June 28 this year, Tombisana called the woman to collect films for construction of green house.
When the woman reached the quarters, there was no one except Tombisana.
He took the woman inside the kitchen and allegedly raped here there.
That day the victim and the accused talked over phone and the accused repeatedly assured the former that he would take her as his wife.
She was raped for the second time on October 12, and again on December 11 .
When the victim suggested the accused that they elope, an altercation ensued between the two.
Later, the woman was taken to Wangjing and then she was dropped at the home of one Moirangthem Keshokumar at Langathel.
After dropping the victim at the house, Tombisana did not come back.
The victim was taken back to her home by her family members after they were informed by Keshokumar.
The woman's grandfather said that they have apprised the matter to the MLA who reportedly assured them they he would come together with the accused.
But the MLA simply kept quiet after that.
They have approached Thoubal P/S and Kakching P/S seeking justice.
In accordance with the place of rape, a complaint has also lodged today at the Women Police Station, Imphal West, said the grandfather.
