Marathi, the out-post commander of Kangpokpi.
"We demand that the culprits, Maj Marathi and his team should be terminated from the service immediately, as the public they claim to serve is increasingly feeling insecure and threatened due to their irresponsible and sadistic actions.
Kindly note that, in the event of failure to take prompt actions from your end and justice is dispensed, we would resort to strong non co-operation movement against the Assam Riffles," .

ANSAM said this act of violence is a calculated act as it occurred right after Kumo Sha was identified as the president of ANSAM.
