Imphal, August 01 2009: A team of MPP leaders led by its president Dr Nimaichand Luwang today visited the bereaved family of slain Yengkhom Krishnadas at Kakching Sumak Leikai to express their condolences and assured the family members of every possible assistance from the side of the party in ensuring justice.

Speaking at the occasion, Dr Nimaichand clarified that the visit has nothing to do with politics.

He observed that the prevailing law and order situation in the State where people can be abducted for ransom and then done to death even after taking the ransom amount shows that the Government has failed on the law and order front.

Such abductions and killings have also raised the suspicion over possible involvement of Government machineries, he added.

Former Union Minister Th Chaoba, former MLA Suvakiran and Kakching Nimai were among other party leaders who visited the bereaved family today.

Talking to mediapersons, Bimola, wife of slain Krishnadas, said brutal killing of her husband even after taking Rs 25 lakhs was very inhumane.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the progress of police investigation in the killing even after claiming to have arrested the main culprit, she demanded to know why no mention of the empty and rusted magazine of a 9 mm pistol which the abductors left behind and collected by the IO of the case have been found in the report of the IO.

She further informed that on the night of the abduction when the armed abductors started beating up her husband, the IO Ingocha had been informed but he declined to come on the ground that he was on night duty and could not leave the office.

But it was him who to first gave the report of recovering the body.

So it is hard to trust that such a person who would able to find out the truth, she added.

Demanding to know whether the amount of Rs 25 lakhs that had been given through one Ashalata for securing the safe release of her husband has been recovered or not, Bimola requested to hand over the same if it is recovered in considering of her son and the condition of the family. She also urged the Government to provide a job for sustenance of the family on humanitarian ground.

Representatives of the JAC formed in connection with the killing informed that they would be approaching the court to seek justice as the State Government is not likely to come out with anything conclusive.
