On possible murder attempt on the life of Paojel Chaoba
Imphal, February 12th , 2014:
The Manipur Cycle Club (MCC) condemns the criminal assault on the life of Mr. Aribam (Paojel Chaoba) Dhananjoy Sharma of the Imphal Free Press and also an Executive Member of Manipur Cycle Club by uniformed and armed personnel of the India Reserve Battalion (IRB) stationed at the northern gate of the Kangla in the heart of Imphal City on the night of 10th February 2014 as he was returning home from his office at around 11:30 PM after conducting his duty.
Paojel Chaoba was dishonored, humiliated, inhumanly tortured and threatened to kill by a team of IRB personnels. Recounting the past of IRB men who were found stealing motor bikes, raping women, robbing the public, it is very clear that this ill trained establishment is a threat to the society and its normal conduct. It is possible that this effort by this IRB team was intentioned to generate fear in the minds of the public and to the media fraternity and this they have achieved.
The IRB must be stopped of its criminal activities in all its forms, and the only way is to either abandon this institution or completely revamp by retraining and re-educating them. In addition, those involved in this criminal assault on Paojel Chaoba be given exemplary and befitting punishment and fully dismissed from service as their continuation is a threat to life.
