Imphal, April 22 2010:
Local people, mostly womenfolk and school students staged a protest demonstration at Keibi Awang Leikai Laijing Keithel against the killing of Amudon alias Ibomcha.
The protest demonstration was staged under the aegis of the JAC constituted against the killing.
Amudon, whose marriage was already fixed on May 17, was shot dead by some unidentified persons at his home at Lamboikhul Makha Leikai in the night of April 20, while trying to save his niece.
The killers came asking for Amudon's sister-in-law Leirentombi and elder brother Basan.
Leirentombi is Pradhan of Uyumpok Gram Panchayat.

The armed persons, unable to meet the persons they were asking, tried to kidnap their three year old daughter.
As the unidentified persons came out with the kid, Amudon pleaded to leave behind his niece.
But the gun men instead of listening to the request, shot Amudon at the stomach.
In connection with the killing, a public meeting was held at Lamboikhul Ireima compound yesterday whereat many resolutions were adopted.
A JAC was also constituted then and there.
The JAC has already urged upon the Government to book and punish the killers within three days and to open a police outpost at a suitable place within the area of Uyumpok Gram Panchayat.
The meeting further decided to ask all concerned whether any UG group was involved in the killing and explain the motive behind killing Amudon, in case any UG group was involved.
It also noted the need to differentiate those UG groups who took up arms just to earn easy money from those who have taken up arms for the genuine cause of the people.
In case the demands are not fulfilled by April 24, general strike will be imposed from the next day.
Moreover, no outsiders will be allowed entry in areas covered by Uyumpok Gram Panchayat, the meeting resolved.
