Changjou clarified that Aruna alias Guneshori was dismissed from the party on August 20, 2005 after she stayed at home without permission.
Akham Malemnganbi (28) d/o A Indra of Salungpham Mayai Leikai arrested together with Aruna for providing shelter to Aruna is an innocent civilian, the outfit asserted.
Reiterating that Salam Priyo, Nandeibam Aruna and Akham Malemnganbi were not related to RPF/PLA, the outfit remarked that all the three individuals ought to be released without any condition.
