Imphal, April 23 2009:
The proscribed PREPAK has refuted any connection whatsoever with one Laiphrakpam Udoi (33) s/o L Gulamjat of Nambol Naorem.
Udoi was arrested by Bishnupur police commandos for being a PREPAK cadre working in the intelligence wing of the outfit under one Khaba from the road between Oinam and Nambol Naorem at about 2.20 pm of April 19 .
Bishnupur District Police also claimed that Udoi was involved in the March 4 ambush in which one Lieutenant of 12 Maratha Light Infantry was killed.
However, a press release issued by the PREPAK finance officer Erei Khuman maintained that the said Khaba was unknown to the outfit.
Asserting that there was no one by the name of Udoi within the party, it alleged that it has become accustomed activity of security forces to kill and harass innocent civilians in fake encounters and false charges of being UG cadres.
