Imphal, March 31: The Senapati district-based Core Committee established in connection with the kidnapping of Muhini Martin and Hrinii Hubert has asked the NSCN (Isak-Muival) to disclose investigation proceedings so far culled from the four prime suspects said to be in the custody of the rebel organisation.

Chairman of the Committee Solomon Vieno conveyed to The Sangai Express that a ten point charter of demand was submitted to the NSCN (IM) leaderships on March 26.�We wanted to know the explicit proof and evidences that the four accused had committed for which we provided a deadline of ten days to reveal progress of the investigation,� Solomon said while pointing out that it was the Committee's main demand.

Mentioning that IM leaders had asked the Committee for extending the deadline to 30 days, the chairman expressed such insistence is creating an impasse/deadlock.

The last rites of the murder duo which was scheduled today had to be postponed as a token of protest against the NSCN (IM)'s intimation to extend the deadline, he said.

On the otherhand, appeal was made to the KNF (P) group to provide details of investigation, if any, to the Core Committee regarding report of two persons being detained in the custody of the armed outfit.

The two persons named as Haopu and Boboy were reportedly taken into custody of the KNF (P) as suspects in the kidnapping and murder case of the Don Bosco School, Maram students.

solomon also stated that some irate women attempted to take the mortal remains of the two boys to the Dimapur camp of the NSCN (IM) with the intention of keeping the skeletal remains there until and unless the Naga rebel group shares details of progress made in its investigation.

However, the agitated womenfolk had been pacified against taking such steps and it likely that the funeral service might take place on April 2 or 3, he said besides adding that to discuss the whole outcome a public meeting participated by representatives of various civil society organisations was held today.

It may be noted that deputy kilonser of the NSCN (IM) Kraibo Chawang had informed of three suspects currently held in its custody and of the trio 'partially confessing' to committing the crime.

Moreover, some days back State authorities had assured Senapati district public of bringing the perpetrators to book within 10 days apart from extending Rs 2 lakhs each as ex-gratia to families of the victim boys.
