Imphal, May 07:
The proscribed UNLF has offered revolutionary salutes to Ahongshangbam Chaoba alias Boinao of Chinga Makha Liwa Lambi who was killed by a combined force of Assam Rifles and police commandos on May 5 at about 3.30 pm at Phayeng.
In a statement, the outfit said that Boinao was earlier pulled up for violating the party's code of conduct by eloping with a girl while still a cadre of the MPA.
As punishment he was demoted, said the outfit.
Boinao was arrested by the combined force while he was on his way to wife's place at Wangoi, said the statement and added that he was killed after severe torture at Phayeng.
The claim of the police that one M 20 pistol and RT set were recovered from him is baseless, it said, adding that it has become the standard practice of the security force to kill after capturing and this trend is being followed by the police too.
