Imphal, September 03 2012: The Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the brutal killing of Pangabam Rabi at Chandigarh has ruled out any possibility of natural death.

Claiming that they have ample evidence to prove that he had been murdered, the JAC raised strong suspicion of foul play in the death of Rabi.

Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here today, JAC spokesperson Toijam Nandababu said there is enough evidence to prove that the death of Rabi was a murder.

He, however, lamented over what he said a "careless statement" of the Manipur Students' Association, Chandigarh (MSAC) which said that there were no any external injuries on the body of Rabi.

The JAC spokesperson termed the statement of MSAC president Meiraba as "unfortunate" .

He also accused the students' body of making the statement by citing only the police reports and said MSAC did not cooperate with the deceased family.

A deep cut mark was discovered in Rabi's neck, obviously a mark received after slitting the throat, he further said.

Apart from the neck, there were injury marks on the head and the limbs had been found cut off.

The JAC would never accept the post mortem report which mentioned that Rabi's limbs had been bitten off by wild dogs.

The point made then was that it was some kind of a natural death, Nandababu said in an angry mood.

He reiterated that the Government should fulfil the demands of the JAC which have been mentioned in the memorandum submitted earlier and warned of serious agitation if the Government fails to meet the demands that include a CBI probe into the death.

The JAC also urged the Government to ensure that the culprits are arrested within five days counting from August 30 when the memorandum was submitted.

Intense modes of agitation would be launched in case the Government fails to act and address the hurt sentiments of Manipuri people, Nandababu said.

Rabi was a B.Sc second year student of Government College For Male, Chandigarh.

He was found dead in a jungle in Chandigarh on August 29 last.

The post mortem was conducted at the Government Multi-speciality Hospital, Chandigarh.
