Imphal, March 14 2016: Thounaojam Brinda who resigned from Manipur Police as DSP of 9th IRB has cited many reasons including harassment by senior officers regarding her decision to resign from Manipur Police.

Notably, Brinda is a daughter-in-law of former UNLF Chairman RK Sanayaima alias Meghen.

Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club this afternoon, Brinda said that she tendered her resignation letter to the DGP through the CO concerned on January 26 this year.

She appeared for the civil services exam in 2012 after she got married to the family of RK Sanayaima and she got selected in the category of Manipur Police Service.

Even as all other candidates who got selected were given appointment orders, her appointment order was held back.

Subsequently, representations were sent to the Chief Minister, the Home Minister and the authorities concerned seeking an answer for holding back her appointment order but there was no reply.

Reminders were sent two weeks later but to no avail.

Then the Supreme Court was approached.

At the directive of the Supreme Court, Brinda went to the High Court of Manipur.

Before the case was listed, the Government offered the appointment order provided the case was withdrawn.

She together with a relative went to the police headquarters and talked about the matter with the DGP.

As the case was finally listed in the High Court of Manipur and the Government was asked to explain the reasons for withholding the appointment order, the Government cited possible leakage of Government policies and secrets if Brinda is appointed to Manipur Police service for she is a daughter-in-law of imprisoned rebel leader Sanayaima.

Even though the resignation letter was submitted on January 26, the same letter was drafted on October 15 last year, Brinda said.

"There were many cases of harassment of the family by army and police.

I thought I can provide some security to our family if I join Manipur Police" she continued.

"Citing many reasons, I was also advised by my father-in-law (Sanayaima) not to join police service.

"Even though I joined police service with a commitment to serve the public, what I experienced was ill-treatment, humiliation and selective harassment", she recounted.

Saying that she cited family and personal matters (in the resignation letter) for her decision to resign from police service, Brinda asserted that the decision to resign from police service was hastened by Head Constable Herojit's confession regarding how he killed people.

"Herojit called my husband Ibai (brother-in-law) and they are closely related.

After my resignation letter was submitted, the committee constituted a committee and the committee called me three times.

But I never went to the committee for it was not neutral.

"Had it been otherwise, I could have gone to the committee and give a detailed explanation regarding my decision to quit police service", Brinda said.
