Condemning the killing of former chief of Thayong village, Remjakhup Kom on the night of November 25, Youth's Front, Kom Rem Union Manipur flayed Assam Rifles for neglecting the complaints of Komrem people.
A press release said that Komrem people informed to Assam Rifles every time they faced harassments, but the SF did not take up any action in their favour.

In 2008, Kuki UGs abducted Thajong village king for a ransom of Rs 1 lakh.
Later in 2009, the press release said, Kuki UGs thrashed some Komrem people at Kangchup Chiru village in connection with a land scuffle.
Kuki UGs also bashed up three Komrem men who were coming with PDS rice at New Keithelmanbi this year.
The press release said that Komrem people informed nearby AR posts in every incident, but the security force neglected their complaints.
