Imphal, February 27 2024:
A day before the State Assembly begins, Hijam Kullajit has urged the Government for justice for his daughter, Hijam Linthoingambi, who was killed by Kuki militants last year.
Two teens, Hijam Linthoingambi and Phijam Hemanjit went missing on July 6 after they were captured by armed militants.
Nearly two months later, on September 25, photographs of the two students purportedly taken during captivity and after murdering them surfaced on social media.
At his residence at Sagolband Tera Tongbram Leikai, Hijam Kullajit said even as some persons have been arrested in the case, the progress of the investigation being handled by the NIA is not known.
While the bodies of the two have not been traced and found, as asked by the Government and others, the last rites of Linthoingambi have not been held, Kullajit said.
Pleading for speedy investigation and justice for Linthoingambi, he urged the Government to discuss the case in the Assembly.
