Imphal, June 22 2010:
Reacting to the claim that a PREPAK activist identified as Waikhom Ibohanbi alias Ibomcha (33) s/o W Indrajit of Sekmaijin Thongam Leikai by Thoubal police commandos and 21 Assam Rifles during a frisking exercise at Sekmaijin Bazar at about 8.20 am of June 20, the proscribed PREPAK has refuted any connection between the party and the said Waikhom Ibohanbi alias Ibomcha.
A press release issued by the outfit's Imphal West district commander Jamesan said that the individual was unknown to the party.
Investigation by the party found that Ibohanbi was an innocent citizen who has been looking after his family by working as a casual labourer.
It further contended that Ibohanbi was picked up by the combined force from his home at about 1 am of June pm.
He was not arrested from Sekmaijin Bazar during frisking exercise as
claimed by police.
