Imphal, December 02 2010:
Out of two cousins assaulted by a man at Bamdiar under Nambol police station in Bishnupur district, the younger brother has sustained critical injuries.
According to information culled from the spot, one Meisnam Samananda (42) of Bamdiar Awang Leikai Chingmang who is mentally unstable, assaulted the two brothers, Okram Ajit (10) and Okram Tomnao (10) of Bamdiar Makha Leikai this morning.
It is reported that Ajit's father Ahanjao and Tomnao's father Aipi are twins.
Ajit and Tomnao were playing marbles near Bamdiar Makha Leikai community hall when Samananda asked them to go with him in search of a cow.
On the way, Samananda started thrashing the boys and he continued the assault even after they reached a mound known as Chingthang Lairembi.
Further, Samananda took the boys to his home and beat them up there.
On being enquired by Tomnao's mother Piyai at Samananda's home, Ajit ran out.
However, Tomnao was found critically injured.
He has been admitted in RIMS.
Soon, the local people rushed in and overpowered Samananda before handing him over to police.
Later, people of the neighbourhood vandalised some household articles of Samananda.
It is reported that Samamanda was living at Bamdiar as he could not live any longer at his native village of Konthoujam after he hacked a man there some years back.
