Imphal, December 05 2009:
One Sergeant Major of the proscribed PULF identified as Md Abdul Khalique (50) s/o late Jamaruddin of Ujjan Terapur, Cachar was arrested by troops of 5 AR yesterday, reports our Jiribam correspondent.
Along with one 1.22 pistol and two live rounds, Abdul Khalique has been handed over to Jiribam police station.
It is reported that Abdul Khalique is an UDC serving at Jiri Taxation check-post.
Flatly rejecting the claim of 5 AR, a colleague of Abdul Khalique working in the same office, said that Abdul Khalique was picked up from their office premises yesterday with nothing in his possession.
He expressed great surprise and utter dismay at the Assam Rifles' claim of recovering an arm from Abdul Khalique.
Rukia Begum, wife of the arrested person, asserted that her husband was an innocent Government employee, not connected with any UG group.
She also demanded justice in the wrongful arrest of her husband.
