Imphal, July 27 2009:
Reacting to the reported detention of Lt Col H Ningshen of NSCN(IM), the main accused in the killing of Dr Kishan and his two
sub-ordinate staff, under NSA in Tihar Jail, the Joint Action Committee Against the Brutal Killing of Dr Kishan, Y Token and A Rajesh has questioned the logic and the rationale behind the detention of the main accused without facing trial.
In a statement,
JAC convenor Loken Wangkhemcha said turn of the event has convinced the people that the State Government is not serious about doing any justice but to buy time to pacify the anger of the people.
The reported statement of the Chief Minister that no other culprits besides Lt Col Hopeson Xingshen have been arrested and that the suspended Ukhrul DC, Pankaj Kumar has been evading police interrogation are unnerving, the JAC said, while expressing apprehension whether the State Government is also a party to the
larger conspiracy of eliminating Dr Kishan and his two sub-ordinate staffs.
Expressing reservation against the reported move of the CBI to transfer the case to Supreme Court, the JAC has questioned how many times the witnesses would able to go to Delhi for giving their statements.
