Imphal, March 20: Categorically rejecting the claim of the DGP, the proscribed KYKL today said that it was not in any way connected with the killings of migrant workers during the last few days.

A statement issued by the deputy secretary of the publicity and research of the KYKL today said that the report of the DGP that S Sanjoy of Wabagai Keithel Macha and E Dutta of the same place were killed in an encounter at Cheirongbung Makha Leikai is baseless and aimed at tarnishing the image of KYKL.

Asserting that the DGP was lying through his teeth, the outfit claimed that Sanjoy and Dutta who were killed by a combined force of Imphal West police and Bishnupur police under the claim that they were killed in an encounter were in fact done to death after they were arrested from the house of Oinam Mangi Mainu who is a member of the Hiyanglam Zilla Parishad.

The outfit further said that it up to the public to decide whether to believe or not the claim of the police that the two were killed in an encounter while the fact stands that the public saw the two men being picked up by the police.

Sanjoy and Dutta were not cadres or sympathisers of the KYKL, claimed the statement and added that they had no weapons at the time of their arrest.

As such the allegations of the police are without foundation said KYKL and added that the propaganda has been launched to tarnish the image of the revolutionary movement in front of all.
