Imphal, December 11 2008:
Refuting the claim of RIMS authority that the two officials of the Engineering Cell were abducted for ransom, the proscribed KCP today claimed that the two, AE Ng Robindro Singh and Supervisor Y Surjit are being held captive on corruption charges.
In a statement, self styled chief project officer-cum-secretary, information and public relations department of KCP, Ibungo Ngangom said that the officers were abducted by a special unit of the Crime Prevention and Detection Bureau which is attached to the Home Department of the outfit.
Asserting that the two were abducted as they were involved in corrupt practices of RIMS authority, the outfit said that their abduction had nothing to do with ransom demand as alleged by RIMS.
The two are under intense interrogation, said the statement and added that the interrogation is being video recorded.
During the interrogation they have revealed a lot of information about the corrupt practices of top officials of RIMS including its Director, Deputy Director, Medical Superintendent and Chief Account Officer.
A criminal trial will proceed once the interrogation is finalised, said the outfit and added that the jury will decide on the type of punishment to be given on the basis of their guilt.
Even capital punishment may be awarded, it added.
The outfit has also asked the Director, Deputy Director, Medical Superintendent, Chief Account Officer and Heads of Department of RIMS who attended the meeting held today to contact them soon or else face the consequence.
KCP has also warned Rj Polyclinic, Bbina Clinic, Langol View Charitable Clinic, Maipakpi Maternity and Child Hospital, Hotel White Palace, Hotel Prince and Hotel Bheigo.
