Imphal, February 19, 2010:
Womenfolk of Nambol Kha-Jiri staged a vehement protest demonstration in front of Maibam Lotpa Ching post of 12 Maratha Light Infantry and Nambol Police Station today over the disappearance of a youth after he was picked up from his home by suspected security personnel.
Once again, in total violation of the Supreme Court guideline, the youth was picked up without furnishing any arrest memo and his whereabouts still unknown as if taken away by a ghost.
Former president of AMSU Bishnupur district branch Sairom Robindro was picked up by unidentified armed persons clad in civilian fatigue and speaking broken Manipuri from his Nambol Kha-Jiri Maning Leikai home last midnight.
The suspected security personnel first called out Robindro's elder brother Taibangnganba(28). Then they came back with the elder brother and took away Robindro.
The suspected security personnel also vandalised household articles.
Local womenfolk reported the incident to Nambol Police the same night.
But they were told to come in the morning.
In connection with the incident, womenfolk of Nambol Kha-Jiri staged a protest demonstration squatting on Tidim Road near Maibam Lotpa Ching post of 12 MLI this morning.
After sometime, one 12 MLI officer came down and said that they did not arrest Robindro.
Nevertheless, the officer reportedly assured the women that they would give a definite information about Robindro by 3 pm this afternoon.
But no information was received from the 12 MLI post even after 3 pm prompting the worried womenfolk to raise an uproar before Nambol police station.
The whereabouts of Robindro cannot be ascertained till the time of filing this report.
