The fire instantly consumed the thatch-roofed kitchen and all the household goods which were kept inside.
However, alerted local people managed to control the fire from spreading to the main house.
At the time of the incident, Dinglar was not at home.
In the election, Dinglar had been pitted against the Independent candidate identified as THD Roingam.
Apart from Chiru and Kom community, 11-Bungte Chiru Constituency has a sizeable number of Kuki and Naga voters.
Aggrieved over the incident, SD Rengmunchin (42) w/o Dinglar has called upon all concerned to ensure such act of arson is not repeated in the future.
It may be recalled here that in connection with ADC election, the house of Tribal Development Minister DD Thaisii located at Senapati district head quarters as well as that of MPCC president Gaikhangam located at Tamenglong district headquarters were also set on fire earlier by the unidentified miscreants.
In Ukhrul district, the houses of eight other candidates have been attacked while houses of two candidates have been set on fire in Senapati.
Another house of a candidate was torched at Leishipung in Sadar Hills.
