Imphal, December 28 2014:
The JAC Against Rape of a Minor Girl, Urup has urged the State Police to file due charge sheet against accused Nongthombam Barun so as to ensure that the accused is awarded befitting punishment without undue delay.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, JAC convenor Wahengbam (O) Sushila Leima demanded that police should carry out a thorough investigation and file due charge sheet promptly.
She demanded the Government to take up special measures for rape victims in addition to giving them compensation.
She also sought cooperation of civil society organisations towards the JAC's cause.
Many accused in several cases were released on bail because of loopholes in police investigation.
Nongthombam Barun (35) s/o Achoubi of Urup Litan Makhong was pulled up by a team of Irilbung police station on December 11 for allegedly outraging the modesty of his 7 year old pupil.
Notably, N Barun used to teach kids as a private tutor.
He is currently lodged in judicial custody.
