Imphal, March 28, 2014:
The JAC constituted in connection with the reported physical assault on a housewife by one Biren has decried the failure to produce the accused before Court.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, JAC convenor Gaitri said that Biren of Leimaram Awang Leikai came to the house of Ningthoujam Tomba at Leimaram Maning Leikai at around 8.30 am of March 8. Biren had a gun and threatened to shoot death Tomba.
When he found that Tomba was away, he hit Tomba's wife on the face with his gun.
He also slapped and kicked the woman.
Biren was pulled up Nambol police in connection with the incident and he should be produced before the Court of CJM Bishnupur yesterday but he was not produced at the Court.
A team of Nambol led by the OC came to Leimaram on March 25 and blamed the local womenfolk for rising an unnecessary uproar using derogatory terms rather than investigating the case properly, Gaitri said.
She also demanded replacement of the OC.
