Imphal, October 29 2010:
The proscribed PREPAK has refuted any connection between the outfit and Constable Okram Ajit alias Rabi s/o O Ibobi of Singjamei Waikhom Leikai, Sukham Ranjit alias Kaka of Naoremthong Khullem Leikai and Laishram Bihari s/o L Manitomba of Thanga Karang.
Earlier, police claimed that the three individuals were PREPAK cadres and they were apprehended while trying to extort money from RMSA fund on October 19 .
However, a press release issued by the outfit's department of publicity and propaganda secretary Aheiba Angom contended that the outfit and its red army have no relationship with the three individuals in any manner.
Alleging that security personnel are behind majority of the extortion cases, bomb attacks and harassment of public in the name of revolutionary groups, the outfit asserted that Constable was made a scapegoat to save the face of police.
Moreover, the outfit has no connection whatsoever with Khwairakpam Premjit alias Prem of Kwakeithel Akham Leikai and Sukham Amu-chou of Khongman Bashikhong reportedly involved in the extortion attempt.
It also asked all the 5 individuals to contact the party and clarify about the incident at the earliest.
