Imphal, November 01:
In connection with the alleged disappearance of Takhelmayum Nando Singh of Kairang Maning Lamkhai, the proscribed KRA has clarified that on the night of October 13, a team of the special task force of KRA picked him up for investigating the financial transaction made in the name of KRA without the prior knowledge of its finance department.
In a statement, information and publicity secretary of the outfit Th Misao said that KRA just wanted to get some information from him and did not intend to hurt him.
But unfortunately, as the team of the special task force was approaching the bank of Iril river, some Police Commandos were seen nearby.
As the team was taking position, Nando fled and jumped into the river.
'Since that night we have been searching for him every nook and corner, but have not found him.
We presume that he may have been drowned by now or may be hiding somewhere', Th Misao said, adding that delay in coming out with the clarification is due to fact that KRA does not know exactly whether he is still alive or dead.
