Imphal, November 09:
The proscribed RPF has today stated that the two contractors, who were supposedly �rescued� by police commandos on November 5 from Sagolband Mabu-dhou Mantri Leikai, were rounded up by the outfit for extorting money from the public in the name of the RPF.
The two contractors are Huiningsubam Tarjan alias Salaja of Kakwa Lilando Lampak and Wangkhem Gunadhaja alias Merajao alias Somen of Ningom Thongjao Sairom Leirak.
In a statement, RPF said that the two were pulled up as they had extorted Rs 2 lakhs from the public in the name of the RPF.
They were taken into custody while they were trying to extort Rs 1.5 lakhs from another person, said the outfit adding that they had confessed to their misdemeanour.
In fact they had even written their confessional statements to be flashed though the papers, when they were taken away by the police commandos, said the statement.
The fact that the police kept quiet about the activities of the two contractors is ample testimony that the Govt and security force in cahoots with anti-social elements have been extorting from the public in the name of the revolutionary outfits, charged RPF.
The two contractors were also involved in deducting ten per cent from all Government Departments in the name of RPF, further said the statement.
