Khaba is a married man having two kids.

The victim is only about 16 years old and is currently appearing in class XI examination.

It is said that Khaba and his family shifted to the locality from Uyal village about 15 years back.

Local people then launched extensive manhunt for Khaba and he was found hiding in road side drain.

At this moment, a team of Kakching police arrived at the scene and took away Khaba after driving away the crowd by firing a number of tear gas shells and mock bombs.

After Khaba has been taken away by police, an angry mob dismantled the house of Khaba.

The situation was brought under control only with the arrival of police reinforcement.
